All while those are all fabulous options for Thanksgiving Leftovers, I have a new take on leftovers, that is going to make you want to pack up your entire Thanksgiving dinner into tupperware containers and order pizza on Thanksgiving Day, just so you can have ensure you have enough leftovers to make Thanksgiving Day Egg Rolls.

Thanksgiving Egg Rolls

Oh yes, I went there! I rolled up Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Turkey into a wonton wrapper and baked until crispy.

These Turkey Egg Rolls are the perfect combination of Thanksgiving Dinner. And of course, there must be gravy to dip these egg rolls in. Or cranberry sauce–or in my book both. I prefer to dip alternate dips between bites to get the best of both sweet and savory.

How to Make Egg Rolls using Leftover Thanksgiving Dishes

Start with your favorite Thanksgiving Leftovers–mashed potatoes, turkey, and mashed potatoes are of course the classics.

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

Top the mashed potateos with a bit of leftover stuffing, about 1 tablespoon.

Top the potatoes and stuffing with a bit of leftover turkey.

Roll up the Thankgiving Leftovers into in the egg roll wrapper like an envelope.

Brush egg rolls with an egg wash.

Bake until crispy and serve with leftover gravy and leftover cranberry sauce.

Everything you love from Thanksgiving Dinner rolled into a perfect hand-held bite–These Leftover Egg Rolls are really PERFECT!

A Few Notes on Leftover Thanksgiving Egg Roll Recipe:

• It is important to brush the egg rolls with an egg wash (or oil) to help crisp up the exterior of the egg roll to mimic the crispiness that is acheived when fried–just without the fat.
• I prefer the combination of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing in these egg rolls, but leftover turkey paired with sweet potato casserole and cranberry sauce is also delicious, as is turkey paired with leftover brussel sprout salad and cranberry sauce.
• I like to serve these egg rolls with leftover gravy and or cranberry sauce.
• To thin out the gravy for dipping, warm with a bit of additional chicken stock.
• To thin out cranberry sauce, add a bit of stock, apple juice, or water and blend until smooth. Then reheat before serving with egg rolls.
• To prep these Leftover Thanksgiving Egg Rolls in advance, roll up the egg rolls as directed and store in fridge. Prior to baking, brush with egg wash and bake as directed.
