Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy how simple ingredients come together to create something hearty and nostalgic. The rolls bake quickly, save you from preparing separate sides, and deliver all the warm, savory flavors of a holiday meal in a streamlined, everyday-friendly format.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Oven-roasted turkey breast slices (deli or leftover turkey)
-
Stove-top or cornbread stuffing mix (or leftover homemade stuffing)
-
Turkey gravy (jarred or homemade)
-
Cream of chicken soup (to create a creamy gravy base)
Directions
-
I preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking dish.
-
I prepare the stuffing according to package instructions (or use leftovers).
-
I mix gravy and cream of chicken soup to form a smooth, rich sauce.
-
I place about ¼ cup of stuffing onto each slice of turkey and roll them up, placing seam-side down in the baking dish.
-
I pour gravy over the rolls, cover with foil, and bake for about 25–30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
-
I remove the foil and bake briefly longer if I want a lightly golden top.
Servings And Timing
This dinner serves about 4–6, depending on turkey slice size and roll density. Preparation takes roughly 15 minutes and baking about 25–30 minutes.
Variations
I sometimes add a tablespoon of gravy inside each roll for even more moisture. I’ve also sprinkled cheese on top before baking or served the rolls with cranberry sauce for a sweet contrast.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, I warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
FAQs
Can I Use Real Leftover Stuffing Instead of Mix?
Yes—leftover homemade stuffing works wonderfully and adds extra flavor.
Can I Skip the Cream of Chicken Soup?
Absolutely—just use gravy alone, though the soup adds creaminess that I enjoy.
Is Deli Turkey Okay, or Should I Use Roast Turkey?
Deli turkey works great for ease, but leftover roast turkey adds deeper flavor when I have it.
What Can I Serve With This Dish?
I love pairing it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad to balance the richness.
Can I Prepare It Ahead of Time?
Yes—I often assemble the rolls in the baking dish and refrigerate until baking later; it’s a great time-saver.
Conclusion
I love how this Turkey Stuffing Roll Dinner delivers the cozy nostalgia of Thanksgiving in a quick, hands-off dinner. It’s an easy way to enjoy comforting flavors any night of the week—without the fuss of a full holiday spread.

Turkey Stuffing Roll Dinner
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
Description
Juicy slices of turkey rolled with savory stuffing for a cozy and satisfying holiday-inspired meal.
Ingredients
For the Turkey Rolls:
4 thin turkey cutlets (about ¼ inch thick)
2 cups prepared stuffing (your favorite recipe or boxed mix)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
For the Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups turkey or chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Place turkey cutlets flat on a clean surface and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon ½ cup stuffing onto each cutlet, then roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Arrange rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Brush tops with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
While the turkey bakes, make the gravy: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in flour to form a roux, cook 1–2 minutes, then slowly whisk in broth. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove toothpicks from turkey rolls, slice if desired, and serve with warm gravy.
Notes
Use leftover turkey and stuffing for a post-holiday twist—reduce baking time since turkey is already cooked.
For a creamy variation, add a spoonful of cream cheese to the stuffing.
Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a full dinner.
