How to Turn Your Thanksgiving Leftovers Into Savory Egg Rolls
Because I grew up in an Asian household, my Thanksgivings were not as traditional. Turkey day didn’t actually involve eating turkey (#scandalous), but I was always too busy slurping down beef flat noodles to care.
In recent years, my family has begun to embrace American food. Now, Thanksgiving is a raging #partay of Chinese and American cuisine. These turkey, stuffing and mashed potato egg rolls are a homage to this cultural fusion — something we should all be thankful for this Thanksgiving season.
Make them these as a crispy appetizer on the big day or as a new twist on leftovers for those sad days after.
Turkey, Stuffing and Mashed Potato Egg Rolls
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Servings: 8 large egg rolls
- Medium
Ingredients
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 2 cup diced turkey
- 2 cup stuffing
- 2 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup cranberry or red plum jelly
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Step 2
Position egg roll wrapper at a diagonal and place turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing in middle of wrapper.
Step 3
Fold bottom corner of wrapper over filling and tuck under filling. Fold both ends over. Holding the sides down, tightly roll the wrapper completely upwards.
#SpoonTip: Egg whites are great egg roll “glue.” Use them to seal the corners in place.
Step 4
Place egg rolls on a non-stick baking sheet. Spray tops of egg rolls with non-stick cooking spray for extra crispiness.
Step 5
Bake for 18-23 minutes or until tops are golden brown. If you’re a cooking pro, you can fry the egg rolls in vegetable oil.
Step 6
Mix fruit jelly, orange juice and honey in bowl until fully combined.
Step 7
Enjoy warm Thanksgiving egg rolls with fruit sauce or gravy.
