Cook Time: 10 minutes

Leftover Turkey Egg Rolls with Gravy

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cups coarsely chopped leftover turkey
  • 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • cup leftover green bean casserole
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • (12 ounce) package egg roll wrappers
  • 1 cups leftover turkey gravy
  • 1 tablespoon leftover cranberry sauce
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the chopped turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Step 2: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner facing you, making it look like a diamond. Place about 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the wrapper.

Step 3: Fold up the bottom half of the wrapper, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up carefully, sealing the edge with a small amount of water to ensure it stays closed.

Step 4: Repeat the process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.

Step 5: In a small saucepan, combine the leftover turkey gravy and cranberry sauce. Stir well and heat on low until ready to use.

Step 6: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350F (175C).

Step 7: Carefully place 4 egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry them until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Use tongs to remove the egg rolls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8: Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.

Step 9: Serve the egg rolls hot with the heated gravy on the side for dipping.

Cook's Note:

Not all green bean casseroles are created equal. If you used fresh green beans, consider chopping them into smaller pieces for easier rolling.
