You know the saying, “everything’s better with bacon?” Well, it’s true, even for Thanksgiving turkey. Our mom has always roasted her Thanksgiving turkey with bacon on top to lock in the juiciness. We’re making our own twist on her recipe with these Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Turkey roll-ups. Turkey cutlets are rolled up with stuffing, wrapped in smoky bacon, and baked to perfection. They have all the holiday flavors you love—made easier and just as impressive.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Melt butter in a braiser or oven safe sauté pan, then add the onions and celery. Season with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the broth and bring it to a boil.

Mix in the bread cubes and cover the pan for 8-10 minutes until they’re softened. Move the stuffing to a bowl or plate to cool.

Place turkey cutlets in between wax paper and pound with a meat mallet or another pan to make them thinner and more even.

Salt and pepper both sides of each turkey cutlet.

Spread about ¼ to ½ cup of stuffing on top of each turkey cutlet into an even thin layer.

Roll up each cutlet away from you, then wrap with 2-3 strips of bacon.

Place bacon wrapped turkey cutlets into the braiser and sear the bacon on all sides for 1-2 minutes per side.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip each roll-up over and bake another 5 minutes. Then broil for about 2-3 min to brown the bacon.

Slice into pinwheels and serve with your favorite homemade or store-bought gravy and sides.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bacon Weave Technique 🥓
Create a tight bacon weave for even coverage and maximum flavor distribution when wrapping the turkey rolls.
Stuffing Moisture Magic 💦
Add a splash of warm chicken broth to your boxed stuffing to ensure it remains moist and flavorful inside the turkey rolls.
Precision Roll Technique 🌀
Use kitchen twine to secure the turkey rolls tightly, ensuring the stuffing stays compact and the bacon remains snug during cooking.
Flavor Layering Trick 🧂
Season each layer separately - salt and poultry seasoning on the turkey cutlet, then additional seasoning in the stuffing for maximum depth of flavor.
Crispy Bacon Finish 🔥
Finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon exterior without drying out the turkey meat.
