Turkey Cranberry Rollups are the tastiest way to use up all that leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and Christmas! They are a little sweet, a little savory, and over the top yummy!
For the past couple years we have been traveling for Thanksgiving. Of course it’s always fun to visit grandma and grandpa, cousins, aunts and uncles over the holidays. Well, most of the time it’s fun!
I have to admit though, there are a few major problems with not being home for Thanksgiving.
- We really miss that down time to just hang out at home and do whatever we want. (Which really doesn’t happen anyway because we still have a dairy to run. Somehow I convince myself that it could be a reality though.)
- There are NO LEFTOVERS when we eat Thanksgiving somewhere else!
Apparently there are people in the world that can’t stand leftovers. What? Thank goodness none of my boys feel that way because we survive on leftovers! Seriously!
Thanksgiving leftovers are the ultimate when it comes to leftovers! Way better than leftover meatloaf right?
Well today I’m excited to share my Turkey Cranberry Rollups recipe with you! It’s a no bake, no fuss, super easy, and incredibly tasty way to recreate your leftovers!
There are lots of fun options for adding different flavors to Turkey Cranberry Rollups. Add a little orange zest, walnuts, blue cheese, or sliced scallions! Make them your own by adding your favorites! Orange zest is fantastic, just saying!
Trust me, these are so yummy I doubt even the pickiest leftover eaters won’t even notice they are eating leftovers!
Most years we go to the mountains and cut a Christmas tree down the day after Thanksgiving. By the time we get home we are usually starving! Hello Turkey Cranberry Rollups! Since they can be made ahead of time all we have to do is get them out of the fridge and start munching! I told you leftovers can be a lifesaver!
Anyone else like to park their rear end in front of the TV throughout the holidays and watch some football? Turkey Cranberry Rollups are the perfect addition to the rest of the finger foods you love munching on!

- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 c. cooked turkey, diced
- ½ c. dried cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 T. minced parsley, mostly for color so if you don’t have it don’t worry about it
- 1 c. grated cheese, Swiss is a great choice
- 4 flour tortillas, I use anywhere from 8”-10” tortillas
- Mix cream cheese, turkey, cranberries, parsley and cheese together until combined.
- Lay tortillas out flat. Spread ¼ of the turkey mixture over each tortilla.
- Roll up tightly. Roll them jelly roll style.
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for a few hours.
- Slice into 1” pieces.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- NOTES:
- There are lots of options for adding different flavors into these rollups! They are delicious with grated orange zest, sliced scallions, blue cheese, or pecans!
