Turkey Sausage Rolls, Stuffing and Cranberries

Meet the tastiest way to use up your Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers: Turkey, Stuffing & Cranberry Sausage Rolls. Flaky puff pastry + savory turkey + sweet cranberries = a lot of Thanksgiving & Christmas leftovers in one bite. A little savory, a little sweet.

In England, sausage rolls are the ultimate on-the-go snack—and this recipe puts a holiday twist on my classic Homemade Sausage Rolls.

Ingredients

• Leftover turkey
• Stuffing/dressing
• cranberry sauce
• layer cake

No sausages, sausage rolls

I got a few comments asking, “Where is the sausage in these Turkey, Stuffing & Cranberry Sausage Rolls?” Here’s the fun part: not all sausage comes in a casing. By definition, sausage is simply ground or chopped meat mixed with other ingredients and spices. In this recipe, turkey, stuffing, and cranberries are chopped and mixed together to create a flavorful turkey meatloaf, then shaped like a sausage. So yes – these rolls really count!

Making these sausage rolls is very easy because the filling is already ready, so all you need to do is roll the finished dough. There’s not much cooking involved, there’s something else to be thankful for. Popular recipe here since 2018.

Material damage

Leftover Roast Turkey
Use chopped or shredded cooked turkey – light meat, dark meat, or a mixture. This adds delicious flavor and makes these rolls the perfect post-holiday treat.

Stuffing (or Dressing)
I love my Sage and Onion Cornbread Stuffing, but whatever you have on hand will work too, whether homemade or store bought. It delivers savory spice, comforting flavors, and classic holiday comfort.

Cranberry Sauce
A dollop of cranberry sauce adds the perfect sweet and sour flavor that balances out all the savory ingredients. Jellied or whole berries both work well.

layer cake
Store-bought puff pastry makes this recipe quick and easy. Brushred with egg wash after baking, they turn out golden, crispy and flaky – the perfect dressing for all holiday flavors.

Non-traditional alternative

You could switch it up and make these rolls with Leftover Ham, Green Beans and sweet potato – or even Roast Beef. They are also delicious as a vegetarian version with potatoes and vegetables. Really, the rest of your vacation is the limit.

And if you want more ideas, I also have an amazing Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey Shepherd’s Pie recipe.

Portion size

The size of the sausage roll is meal size. I like to serve it with a side of peas and a side of cranberry sauce. To make snack or appetizer size, cut in half before baking.
