Simple and scrumptious.

Ingredients

*You can choose either the smoked or plain style turkey, according to your taste.

Directions

Make stuffing according to directions on box. Lay down 1 slice of turkey. Top turkey with cheese slice. Take 1/4 cup of stuffing and compress it slightly so that it will hold together. Place stuffing on top of the turkey and cheese slices.

Roll up jellyroll style. Secure with toothpicks to keep them from unrolling. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with Pam and place the rolls into the dish. Pour the gravy over the rolls. (If I have extra dressing left, I put it in the spaces around or on top of the rolls.) Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes.

Source: I got this recipe from a friend some time ago and have made it countless times. It's a request from my grown children and their wives. Now they are serving it to their friends and getting rave reviews as well. It really looks and tastes like you've spent hours, when in fact it's so simple you don't even need to follow the recipe once you have made it. When you are having just a few people for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, it's just as good as the turkey and dressing you work hours to prepare and tastes just as good. I can't wait to hear what you readers think of it.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Turkey Legs
  • Your favorite seasoning (I used Lawry's 17 and sodium free salt)
  • White Grape Juice

Directions:

Pull back the skin and add spices. Replace the skin. Add about a cup or so white grape juice. Place in pan and cover with lid or foil. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 1 and 1/2 hours. You could use a large crock pot. Mine isn't big enough. Add more liquid if necessary.

I once found turkey legs marked down to about 50 cents. I didn't want to break out my homemade chicken broth, so I thought I'd add the white grape juice. Now I won't make them any other way!

Prepare stuffing. Put a healthy dollop on each slice of turkey. Roll up and place in a baking dish. Pour gravy all over and make sure turkey is well coated.

I have meat from turkey thighs extracted myself (I know it's a bit time-consuming) but it's one of the very cheapest I know. Any interesting recipes for using this meat, including when minced?



Thanks,

I've never ever seen thighs sold in grocery stores. I even contacted Butterball or one of those places after first seeing this request, but never got a response. I think they use the thigh meat for ground turkey.

I sure wish they wouldn't. To me that has the best flavor of any of the turkey parts. I live in Arkansas and none of the stores here stock thighs.

After slicing the boneless raw turkey meat in thin pieces I place them in a plastic bag that has some flour and greek seasoning (I buy in the bulk food store) premixed in it. Shake and fry in olice oil. Very tasty and always a favorite here. Chicken breasts sliced, coated and fried this way are excellent too.
