Flavor-Packed Turkey Roll Ups Stuffing (Printable View)

Tender turkey cutlets rolled around savory stuffing, baked to golden perfection for a festive meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Turkey & Marinade

01 - 4 large turkey cutlets (about 5 ounces each)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Stuffing

07 - 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
08 - ½ cup finely chopped celery
09 - ½ cup finely chopped onion
10 - ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
11 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
12 - ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
13 - 1 teaspoon dried sage
14 - ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
15 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
16 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ For Baking

17 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
18 - Cooking spray or additional olive oil

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each turkey cutlet with the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, celery, onion, parsley, melted butter, chicken broth, sage, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the stuffing holds together when pressed.
04 - Lay each seasoned turkey cutlet flat on a clean surface. Place a quarter of the stuffing mixture at one end of each cutlet and roll up tightly, enclosing the filling. Secure with toothpicks if necessary to hold the shape.
05 - Arrange the roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour 1 cup chicken broth around the roll ups, avoiding direct pouring over the meat. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until turkey is fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove toothpicks before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything bakes in one dish while you relax with a glass of wine
  • Looks fancy enough for company but comes together faster than you expect
  • The stuffing inside keeps the turkey incredibly moist
02 -
  • Let the turkey rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks or the juices will run everywhere
  • If your cutlets are uneven thickness, pound them gently between plastic wrap first
  • The internal temperature should reach 165°F but carryover cooking will finish it as it rests
03 -
  • Use kitchen twine instead of toothpicks if you're worried about guests finding them
  • Pat the turkey very dry before seasoning so the oil mixture actually sticks
