Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup mashed potatoes, 1 cup diced cooked turkey, and 1 cup herb stuffing until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling near the corner closest to you.
  3. Step 3: Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners tightly. Roll up firmly and seal the edge using a slurry made by mixing 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water.
  4. Step 4: Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F.
  5. Step 5: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Step 6: For dipping sauce, warm 1/2 cup cranberry sauce gently in a small saucepan until smooth and slightly runny.
  7. Step 7: Serve the hot egg rolls with cranberry dipping sauce.
