Can I Add the Gravy Before Baking the Roll-Ups?

What Kind of Gravy Can I Use for Turkey Roll-Ups?
It’s never been easier to make gravy without drippings. Today, you can buy turkey gravy mixes in a packet, turkey gravy in a can, or turkey gravy in jars.

Tips and Tricks:
- after you roll the turkey over the stuffing, you can place them seam side down or secure them with a toothpick
- if you are using toothpicks to fasten your turkey roll-ups together, then soak the toothpicks for about 10 minutes in water before
- you can use homemade stuffing or used boxed stuffing as I did
- this recipe would make a great addition to an open-faced turkey sandwich – all you need to add is the bread and mashed potatoes
- ask the deli to slice your oven-roasted turkey with numbers 4 or 5
