    Thanksgiving Egg Rolls

    When it comes to Thanksgiving leftovers, you can't get much more creative than this recipe for Turkey Egg Rolls.

    Egg Roll wrappers are filled with leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing and then baked until crispy. While delicious served plain, they are fabulous when dipped into turkey gravy or warmed cranberry sauce.

    Notes On Ingredients

    Using Leftover Thanksgiving Dishes to make Thanksgiving Egg Rolls.
    • Egg Roll Wrappers: You can find egg roll wrappers in the refrigerated produce section of your grocery store.
    • Turkey: Use leftover roasted brined turkey or Instant Pot turkey breast--any leftover turkey you have.
    • Mashed Potatoes: You may want to warm up your leftover mashed potatoes to thin them out and make them easier to spread. If the mashed potatoes are too thick add in a bit of warmed milk or butter.
    • Stuffing: For these egg rolls, you can use any leftover stuffing you have. I use my bread stuffing but any stuffing you have will work in these egg rolls.
    • Egg Wash: You will need an egg wash to help the egg rolls crisp up. But if you have an egg allergy, feel free to brush with oil or spray with cooking spray.

    How to Make Thanksgiving Egg Rolls

    • Spread an egg roll wrapper with about two tablespoons of mashed potatoes.

    Air Fryer Instructions

    Prepare the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls as directed, but do not brush with an egg wash. Instead spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place into an the basket of an air fryer. Air fry for 3 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip and air fry for an additional 3-4 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until crispy.

    Prep in Advance

    If desired, you can assemble these egg rolls up to 24 hours before baking or air frying. Roll up the egg rolls as directed and place into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, brush with the egg wash and bake as directed. Alternatively, spray with cooking spray and air fry as directed.

      This is so incredibly smart and fun. I love that you bake the egg rolls instead of frying them. We absolutely need to do this the weekend after Thanksgiving.
