Turkey and Stuffing Rollups

It's November.

That means the holidays are upon as in a matter of days. Thanksgiving is coming. I am welcoming of Thanksgiving. I absolutely love to browse Thanksgiving recipes, but the thought of hosting Thanksgiving at my home scares me. I love to cook, but not under pressure. And making a turkey? I have such a fear that it will dry as a bone. Luckily, Dan and I go to both our families for Thanksgiving, so I get limited to side dishes and desserts to make. I'm good with that.

This meal kicks off my November dinners, and what better to meal to make than a sort of Thanksgiving supper? It has the flavors of Thanksgiving with the ease of a weeknight meal on your table with minimal work. I used some nice thick-cut deli turkey, boxed stuffing and boxed mash potatoes. I was in the kitchen for maybe 10 minutes. Of course, you can always make your own stuffing and some homemade sides, which would always be better, but for a Monday night, 10 minutes in the kitchen is okay with me. I chose an oven roasted style deli turkey, but you could spice things up with some flavored turkey, like honey maple turkey, which I buy for my sandwiches. I bet that with some cornbread stuffing would be divine. A little sweeter hint to it than the traditional. I found that getting 1 pound of the turkey meat sliced thick was exactly the perfect amount. I had two big spoonfuls of stuffing leftover, which I promptly ate...

Oh, and don't forget the gravy. I used a jarred turkey gravy, but you can always make your own. Homemade is always better if you want to put in the time.
