What to do with leftovers?!



 
Thanksgiving was more than a blessing and I'm more than thankful for the people that shared it with me. To be around your loved ones makes the holidays much more better but what makes it the best is the food. A holiday isn't right without a feast. While my thanksgiving was pleasant, I was still thinking of what I may do with leftovers. Every year we have so much leftovers and eating the same plate is boring -_- I'm thinking of cornbread dressing croquettes or something but I wanted more of an appetizer so egg rolls came to mind first. 
I Pinterest ALOT of things for ideas and searched for egg rolls with a thanksgiving plate twist. I didn't find the recipe on Pinterest I just researched to see how others made theirs and there wasn't too many things I like about some recipes. Egg rolls are easy so I just went with my own ideas. All that cornbread dressing, turkey, or etc you have rolled up in an egg roll just sounds like heaven YUMMY! :D This was a hit in the house, my siblings and mom smashed it immediately.

Stuffed Thanksgiving Egg Rolls 

I went to a Hong Kong Market by the house and bought some egg roll wraps for $0.99! Do NOT but rice paper, those are for steaming not frying. You will look just as stupid as the rice paper if you deep fry that. 1 egg and 1 tsp for egg wash

For my egg rolls I added these items in order, no seasoning needed. Your leftovers should already have seasoning or flavor that's just me. Turkey, cornbread dressing, cabbage, and cranberry sauce MAN! Get the egg wash and brush the corners, roll it up till you can't see the filling, fold the corners and brush a little bit with the egg wash, fold in, fry! So simple and easy. You can bake them too but frying takes about 3 minutes front back to cook. Let it cool, cut them diagonally in half, garnish with cilantro or basil, serve optionally with your favorite cranberry sauce. Easy to make cranberry sauce but that's doing the most, buy a can of cranberry sauce $0.87 at your local grocery. You'll save soooo much time, nobody wants to deal with fresh cranberries and boiling them and etc, not that serious. This is a very good hor' douerve recipe to serve wanted or unwanted guest LOL very simple. Prep time really depends on how many egg rolls you're making. I would say it took me 15 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook. Bon Appetít! Enjoy my dears.
