Ingredients and Preparations
Transforming your leftovers into egg rolls is simple and flexible. All you need are leftover turkey, stuffing, mayo, and egg roll wrappers.
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Dice or shred your turkey into small pieces for even distribution.
- Mix in stuffing and a touch of mayo to keep things moist.
Step 2: Wrap It Right
- Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape with a corner facing you.
- Spoon the filling into the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling and tuck it snugly.
- Fold in the sides, moisten the top corner with water, and roll tightly to seal.
Step 3: Fry to Perfection
- Heat oil to 350°F (180°C). Deep-fry for 2–3 minutes, or shallow-fry and flip for an even crisp.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep the oil hot and your egg rolls perfectly crispy.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
