How to Make Thanksgiving Leftover Egg Rolls
Gather the ingredients
Choose which leftovers you want to wrap in your egg rolls and chop fillings into similar-sized pieces. Mix together in a large bowl to combine.
Note: Feel free to adjust this recipe with any combination of whatever you have left in your fridge!
Assemble egg rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a plate with one corner facing you. Place about ¼ cup of filling in each wrapper.
Fold one corner over the filling then fold in each remaining side, place a bit of water on the bottom corner and continue to roll up wrapper to secure closed.
Air fry the egg rolls
Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray and transfer egg rolls in a single layer.
Spray egg rolls with cooking oil.
Air fry at 350F for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Meanwhile, warm up gravy or other dipping sauces.
Want these holiday leftover egg rolls baked instead? Bake in the oven at 425F for 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
These air fried egg rolls are best served immediately but you can store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the air fryer, oven, or microwave until warmed through.
I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving Egg Rolls with Gravy as much as we do. They're crunchy, quick and easy to make, and kid-friendly! If you try this recipe, please share a photo with me over on Instagram.
