Thanksgiving Leftover Egg Rolls

Yes, you read that correctly. Thanksgiving leftovers (or any for that matter) make the best filling or egg roll wrappers to create a delicious dinner or lunch. These are definitely not your mother's leftovers. Not that there is anything wrong with those. Sorry mom.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggroll wrappers
  • 1 cup leftover turkey, shredded
  • 1 cup leftover vegetables
  • 1 cup leftover stuffing
  • 1 cup leftover cranberry sauce
  • vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup gravy, for dipping

Method
 

  1. On a clean and dry surface, lay an egg roll wrapper down in a diamond shape and spread a thin layer of cranberries in the centre.  
  2. Add a spoonful of vegetables, then stuffing and finally a few shavings of turkey over top of the cranberries, leaving a 1-inch edge around all sides.
  3. Using your finger, wipe the edges with a couple drops of water.  Gently roll away from you and fold in the sides as you go. Repeat with remaining leftovers and wrappers.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil until it reaches 1” from the bottom of the pan. Heat until it starts to bubble. Add egg rolls and fry until golden, 1 minute per side. (Don’t crowd the pan.)
  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. Serve with warm gravy. You can also use your air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
