Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the chopped turkey, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, positioning it like a diamond with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of the Thanksgiving filling onto the center of the wrapper. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling. Then, fold in the two side corners tightly towards the center. Gently roll the egg roll away from you, ensuring a tight seal. Dab the final corner with a few drops of water to secure the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

04

Step

In a small saucepan, combine the leftover turkey gravy and cranberry sauce. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberry sauce is melted and fully incorporated into the gravy. Keep warm until ready to serve. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

Pour vegetable oil into a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides. (Cook time: 4 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the cooked egg rolls from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

08

Step

Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls. Serve immediately with the warm cranberry gravy dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy! (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For extra crispy egg rolls, consider double-frying them. After the first fry, let them cool slightly, then fry them again for another 1-2 minutes.
If you don't have leftover cranberry sauce, a dollop of cranberry jelly will work in a pinch.
Feel free to customize the filling with other Thanksgiving leftovers such as stuffing or roasted vegetables.
These egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. Ensure they are well-sealed to prevent them from drying out.
