Thanksgiving in July

We always hear about “Christmas in July” well, what about Thanksgiving in July? I personally love turkey and could eat it about once a week. So here is an idea we call “Turkey Rollups”. Get about 1 pound of turkey sliced from the deli. You are going to want this to be thicker than for sandwiches, but not too thick (after you have done this once you will determine what you like for thickness). Now get about ½ pound of Monterey Jack cheese sliced thin for sandwiches. You will also need a box of Stove Top stuffing mix (I like either chicken or turkey – stay away from pork and cornbread) and a large can of cream of chicken soup (here again any kind will work however Campbell’s is great).

Now, fix the stuffing per the box and then set aside and let it cool a little. Once you feel you can handle it, you can start. You start by laying out one piece of turkey on a cutting board. Then you put one slice of the cheese on the turkey (in the middle of the slice). Once they are together, you add a spoon full of stuffing on the cheese. Then you rollup the turkey/cheese/stuffing and place them into a pan for the oven (I use a lasagna pan or a glass casserole pan will work great). You repeat this process until the pan is full, or the turkey is gone (I love leftovers so I will do two pans if able).

Open the can of soup and pour into a bowl. Add just enough water or milk to be able to thin the mixture enough to be able to pour it out (I use about 1/3 of the can as a measure). Then take the thinned soup mixture and pour it over the turkey rolls. From here you just cover it with foil (if you are baking it) or wrap (if you are microwaving it – either way works but baking is better) and cook it. Since the stuffing is already done you just need to heat the turkey rollups and they are done. I normally do about 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven this way the house smells like Thanksgiving.

Now just open a can of cranberry sauce and you are set and ready to go, just don’t get too disappointed that you can’t spend the day watching football.

Enjoy
