Sharing is caring!

These delicious Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are quick and full of flavor!

Everybody loves Thanksgiving dinner and the best part is the leftovers! But what do you do when you are tired of sandwiches? Make these Thanksgiving Egg Rolls!  These are delicious and my new favorite way to eat Thanksgiving leftovers.  Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce all fried up in a golden delicious egg roll wrapper then dipped in more cranberry sauce or gravy, amazing!! You will be more excited to eat these eggrolls than the Thanksgiving dinner itself! These can even be made in the air fryer.

There is nothing I love more than Thanksgiving dinner!  I love how all the dishes go so well together!  This is one meal where it is okay if everything is touching. I always make extra Thanksgiving dinner just so I can have plenty of leftovers. 

We always have plenty of sandwiches out of the leftovers.  Thick sandwiches stacked high with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a little mashed potato.  The flavors just go so well together. I saw you could take all those delicious Thanksgiving leftovers and make a crispy egg roll out of them and I was sold. 

These make for a delicious and quick lunch or dinner.  I know egg rolls don’t always sound like they will be fast and easy but I promise this is a really quick recipe and once you make them the first time you will be making them again and again!

I use leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce in these egg rolls. Everything gets rolled up into an egg roll wrapper and then quickly fried until golden brown and crispy. 

I love that you can customize these how you like.  You can add any Thanksgiving leftovers you have.  You can add cheese if you like.  You can totally make these to your family’s taste. 

These can also be made in the air fryer if you don’t feel like pan frying the egg rolls. 

These are always a hit and a perfect new way to use up those leftovers besides sandwiches.  I use cranberry sauce or leftover gravy for dipping. 

So next time you are looking for a different way to use up that turkey dinner just make these Thanksgiving Egg Rolls.  I promise everyone will love them.

RECIPE FAQS

You can! Add that green bean casserole in there, leftovers veggies, ham, corn casserole, anything goes!

Sure you can!  Swiss, mozzarella, cheddar and even pepperjack are all delicious in this.

What should I serve this with?

I like to serve this with leftover cranberry sauce or gravy for dipping.

How can I air fry these?

Just prepare them as above but you will want to brush them with some vegetable oil before adding them in a single layer in the air fryer and fry at 400 for 6 minutes, flip and air fry another 6 minutes.  Air fryers do vary so make sure you are checking yours.
