How to Make Turkey Cranberry and Brie Egg Rolls?

Making these delicious egg rolls is a breeze. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be biting into crispy goodness in no time!

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients 🥢

Start by chopping or shredding the cooked turkey. Slice the brie into small pieces so it melts easily inside the wrapper. Set up your workstation with egg roll wrappers, cranberry sauce, and a small bowl of beaten egg.

Step 2: Fill the Egg Rolls 🌟

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add a spoonful of turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and a slice of brie in the center. Be careful not to overstuff! Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edges with beaten egg so it holds together when cooking.

Step 3: Cook to Perfection 🍳

If Frying: Heat about an inch of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in small batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to remove them and drain on paper towels.
If Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them lightly with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy 😋

Once cooked, serve hot with extra cranberry sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for Making the Recipe

Don’t Overfill the Wrappers: Too much filling can cause the rolls to burst while cooking. Stick to moderate portions.
Keep Wrappers Moist: Cover unused wrappers with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Serve Hot: These are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan or oven while the brie is melty and gooey.

How to Serve Turkey Cranberry and Brie Egg Rolls?

Serving these egg rolls is as fun as making them! Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a pop of color. A drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze over the rolls adds a sophisticated touch. For dipping sauces, cranberry-honey mustard or a creamy garlic aioli are excellent options. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a charcuterie board for a complete appetizer spread.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these egg rolls in advance, you’re in luck! You can assemble them ahead of time and store them uncooked in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Cover them with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

For longer storage, lay the uncooked rolls on a baking sheet and freeze them until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, you can fry or bake them straight from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Leftover cooked rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.
