What Makes Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls So Special?
These scrolls hit all the right notes. You get the lean richness of turkey mince, the oozy goodness of Brie cheese, and a hint of tart-sweet cranberry sauce, all encased in a crispy tortilla. Seriously, these little beauties are going to steal the show at your next gathering. 🎉 Whether you’re making them as appetisers, picnic snacks, or even a light dinner, these Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls are sure to impress.
The best part? They’re deceptively simple to make, but feel like a gourmet treat. Fancy enough for a party, yet homely enough for a family snack. Perfect for those moments when you want something indulgent but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. 👩🍳
Why Turkey Mince?
You might be wondering, why turkey mince instead of the usual beef or pork? Well, turkey mince is an amazing lean option that’s lower in fat but still packed with flavour. It absorbs the flavours of the Brie and cranberry sauce beautifully, making it a fantastic choice for these Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls. And bonus points—it’s healthier! 💪 Plus, turkey is a bit lighter, so you can enjoy these scrolls without feeling weighed down.
Make sure to pick up high-quality turkey mince, preferably from a local butcher or a trusted supermarket brand. The fresher, the better!
The Star of the Show: Brie Cheese
Let’s talk about Brie for a second. 🧀 This soft, creamy cheese brings an irresistible richness to these Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls. As it melts inside the tortilla, it creates this velvety texture that pairs perfectly with the turkey and cranberry. The key here is to use a good-quality Brie. While you don’t need to go super fancy, try to find one that’s soft and ripe. Trust me, you’ll taste the difference! 🍽
Cranberry Sauce: The Sweet, Tangy Secret Ingredient
Cranberry sauce isn’t just for Christmas! It adds a wonderful pop of sweet and tart flavour to these Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls, cutting through the richness of the Brie and the savoury turkey mince. It also gives the scrolls that nice festive vibe, making them perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you want to feel a little celebratory. 🥂
If you’ve got some leftover cranberry sauce from the holidays, this is a brilliant way to use it up. Otherwise, any store-bought cranberry sauce will work a treat!
Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls
- Roll them tightly: Make sure to roll your tortillas tightly to avoid any filling falling out. The tighter, the better!
- Use fresh tortillas: Slightly stale tortillas may crack when you roll them, so make sure they’re fresh and soft. If needed, you can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before rolling.
- Watch the oven (or air fryer): Keep a close eye while baking to avoid overcooking. You want them golden brown, not too dark.
- Optional extra: Feeling fancy? Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh rosemary or thyme into the turkey mince mix. It brings an extra layer of flavour and smells amazing as it bakes. 🌿
- Sauce swap: If you’re not a cranberry fan, try swapping it for a bit of caramelised onion relish or even a touch of apricot jam for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
These Turkey Brie and Cranberry Scrolls are perfect on their own, but if you want to take them to the next level, serve them with a small side salad for a light meal. 🥗 Think mixed greens with a simple olive oil and lemon dressing to balance the richness of the Brie and turkey. For a party spread, you can pair them with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or a herby yoghurt dip. 🥣
They also go really well with a sparkling wine or crisp white, making them an excellent addition to any gathering. 🥂 For a non-alcoholic option, a refreshing sparkling water with a slice of lemon or lime will do the trick. 🍋

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! If you’re after a more traditional sausage roll texture, puff pastry works beautifully here. Just follow the same steps, roll up, and bake until golden. You’ll get a flakier result compared to the crispy tortilla.
Yes! You can freeze the uncooked scrolls. After rolling and cutting, place them on a tray and freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-lock bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them straight into the oven from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
If you’re not a Brie fan (although I can’t imagine why!), you can substitute with Camembert, or for a less creamy option, a mild cheddar or mozzarella would work well too.
