Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound roasted turkey breast, skin removed and cut into small cubes
Jazzed up stuffing, recipe follows
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
12 egg roll wrappers
Gravy, for dipping, recipe follows
Cranberry dipping sauce, for dipping, recipe follows
About 1 cup chicken stock
1 box prepared stuffing
1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped sage leaves
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely diced onion
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 1/2 to 2 cups turkey stock
Pinch salt
2 cups frozen cranberries
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl add the turkey and the stuffing and mix to combine. In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to form an egg wash. Layout the egg roll wrappers and spoon 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture onto each wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrappers with egg wash. Roll tightly, being sure to bring the sides together so the egg roll is tight. Before the final wrap, use some egg wash to seal. Set the finished egg rolls on a platter until ready to fry.
  • Fry the egg rolls, in batches, until golden brown and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the egg rolls to paper towels to drain. Allow to cool and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with warm Gravy and Cranberry Dipping Sauce.
  • In a large saucepan add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the stuffing and the fresh herbs. Mix well.
  • In a medium saucepan heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Reduce the heat and stir in the flour and pepper to make a roux. Add the herbs, turkey stock and salt. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the cranberries, strawberries, sugar and orange juice. Bring to a slight simmer over low heat. Cook until the cranberries pop, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the cayenne pepper and simmer for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Add to a blender and puree the sauce until velvety and smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh turkey: Fresh turkey eggs have a brighter color and a thicker shell.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your egg rolls a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the egg rolls: Overcooked egg rolls will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or duck sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Turkey egg rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
