You could use turkey instead of chicken. Here's my recipe: Chicken Roll-Ups 1 ½ cups minced cooked chicken ½ - ¾ cup gravy or 1 tin cream of chicken soup biscuit dough 1 egg Mix together to make a paste that is easy to spread. Set aside. Prepare biscuit dough as per package or from scratch. Roll on floured board to 1 inch thickness to a size of 10 x 15. Spread chicken mixture to within ½ inch of edge of dough. Roll up as a jelly roll, moisten edges with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with a little water or milk) and press to seal. Place on cookie sheet. Use remaining egg wash to paint the whole roll-up. Using a sharp knife make a slit per serving. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 mins, reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 15 mins. Makes 7-8 servings. You could heat up a tin of cream of chicken soup and use as a sauce when serving Serve with a garden salad and or potato salad and you're good to go.

We're probably going to miss the actual dinner due to travel, so someone suggested that I make and freeze some stuff before and maybe roast a chicken or something (not a whole turkey) when we get back. I'd like to have chicken, stuffing/dressing, some veggies, mashed potatoes. The basics of the traditional meal. Any suggestions on what to make ahead and freeze? It must be reheatable in the oven or on the stovetop, because we don't have a microwave. Ooh, I was just going to send you a question about this.
