Ok foodie friends, I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here, but hopefully you’ve still been able to keep up with all my foodventures on Instagram (be sure to follow me if you haven’t already)! But I’m back, just in time for Thanksgiving with this awesomely good recipe for a creative and delicious way to repurpose all of your Thanksgiving leftovers.
This is a really loose “recipe” because it’s super easy to customize it based on what you actually served at your Thanksgiving dinner (or what you made enough of to actually have leftovers).
Ingredients
- JSL Twin Dragons Egg Roll Wrappers
- Turkey, cooked and pulled
- Mashed Potatoes
- Stuffing
- Green bean casserole
- Corn or corn pudding (both work great)
- Sweet potatoes / yams
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Canola oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a bowl, add all your ingredients (except the cheese) together. Mix together enough for all ingredients to be uniformly distributed.
2. Put between 1/4 and 1/3 cup of your mixture into your egg roll wrapper, top with a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese.
3. Wet your fingers and trace along the edges of the wrapper. Fold in the left and right edges and then roll to form a traditional egg roll shape. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, add enough oil to cover about 1/2 inch of your pan and heat to 350 degrees. Carefully add your egg rolls to the oil, frying for about 1.5 minutes on each side.
5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the extra oil.
6. Let cool and serve with leftover gravy and/or cranberry sauce for dipping!

Feel free to get creative with it, too. Don’t have enough of everything to make a mixture of leftovers? Focus on a single ingredient. I also made mac and cheese egg rolls following the instructions above, and they were also a huge hit.
And the final product!
