FAQs

Can I use deli turkey?

Yes, thick-cut deli turkey works great for this recipe. Just ensure the slices are large and sturdy enough to roll.

What stuffing should I use?

Any prepared stuffing—boxed, homemade, or leftover—works perfectly. Choose your favorite.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the roll ups a day in advance, refrigerate, and bake when ready.

Can I use chicken instead of turkey?

Yes, thin slices of cooked chicken breast or deli chicken are a good substitute.

How do I keep the roll ups from falling apart?

Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish. Pouring gravy over the top also helps hold everything together.

What’s the best gravy to use?

Turkey or chicken gravy, either homemade or store-bought, will work. Choose low-sodium if desired.

Do I need to cover the dish while baking?

Covering the dish keeps the roll ups moist. Remove the foil for the last few minutes to crisp the top if desired.
