Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 6
Yield: 6 egg rolls

Ingredients

  1. 1 ⅓ cups coarsely chopped leftover turkey
  2. 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  3. ⅔ cup leftover green bean casserole
  4. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  5. ½ (12 ounce) package egg roll wrappers
  6. 1 ¼ cups leftover turkey gravy
  7. 1 tablespoon leftover cranberry sauce
  8. 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  2. Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you, so it looks like a diamond. Place 3 tablespoons of filling onto the wrapper. Fold up bottom half of the wrapper and tightly fold in sides. Gently roll and seal with a couple of drops of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Place gravy in a small saucepan and stir in cranberry sauce. Heat on low until ready to use.
  4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. Place 4 egg rolls in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove egg rolls using tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining egg rolls. Serve gravy on the side for dipping.
  6. Not all green bean casseroles are created equal. If you used fresh green beans, you may need to chop them into smaller, more manageable pieces.
  7. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
