Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
- 2 cups cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the shredded turkey with cranberry sauce until evenly combined.
- Slice the brie cheese into small rectangles.
- Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and keep a small bowl of egg wash nearby.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the turkey-cranberry mixture in the center of each wrapper, then top with a slice of brie.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edges with egg wash.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls with tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Garnish with parsley or powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use leftover filling as a topping for crackers or sandwiches.
