Festive Turkey Roulade with Cranberry-Sage Stuffing

Turkey Roulade with Cranberry-Sage Stuffing made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds turkey breast boneless
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the stuffing by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and celery until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with bread crumbs, cranberries, sage, chicken broth, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Lay the turkey breast skin-side down on a clean surface and gently pound it to an even thickness, about 1 inch.
  • Spread the stuffing evenly over the turkey, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Roll the turkey breast tightly from one side to the other, tucking in the stuffing as you go.
  • Secure the roulade with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
  • Season the outside of the roulade with additional salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the roulade to a roasting pan and roast for 60–75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the roulade into rounds and serve with your favorite sides.
