Crafting Your Thanksgiving Leftovers Egg Rolls

Prepare the Wrappers: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Aim for a diamond shape in front of you.

Create the Egg Wash: Crack open an egg into a bowl and scramble it. You may add a little water to the egg for a smoother consistency. This will serve as your egg wash.

Assemble the Fillings: Spread some leftover stuffing and a few small turkey pieces onto the egg roll wrapper. Feel free to add your desired combination of leftovers. However, remember not to overfill the rolls.

Rolling Technique for the Perfect Thanksgiving Egg Rolls: Lift the bottom corner of the wrapper and roll it away from yourself, ensuring the tucked-in corner stays secure while rolling. When halfway up, fold the left and right sides towards the center.

Seal and Fry: Continue rolling until only the final corner remains. Use the egg wash to brush over this corner. Complete the roll, ensuring it’s tightly sealed to prevent unraveling while frying.

Frying the Rolls: Heat approximately 4-5 inches of cooking oil in a pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully place 3 or 4 egg rolls into the hot oil, turning them occasionally. Fry until they turn a golden brown, usually around 2 minutes. Once fried, transfer them to paper towels to drain and cool.
