Thanksgiving sides are far too good to have just once a year, so turn those leftovers into delicious and filling snacks. Roll your own combination of leftovers (or one of the options below) into egg rolls and keep them frozen until you’re craving the taste of the holidays.
Try one of these suggested roll combinations (mashed potatoes, yams & green beans; yams & stuffing; mashed potatoes and green beans) or make one of your own.
#SpoonTip: You can also add turkey (and gravy) for those non-vegetarians out there
