Ingredients
Scale
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup (8 oz / 240 ml) cooked turkey, shredded
- 10 slices of brie cheese (approximately ¼–½ inch thick and 1 ½ inches long)
- ½ cup (4 oz / 120 ml) cranberry sauce
- 1/8 tsp poultry seasoning (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- ½ cup (4 oz / 120 ml) cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spice Preparation: Thoroughly coat diced turkey with salt, ground black pepper, and poultry seasoning in a mixing bowl, ensuring uniform flavor distribution.
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Filling Assembly: Center egg roll wrappers and layer seasoned turkey, followed by a dollop of cranberry sauce and a slice of creamy brie cheese, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
- Wrapping Technique: Moisten wrapper edges with water, carefully fold sides inward, and roll tightly to create a compact parcel that completely seals the savory filling.
- Pre-Baking Preparation: Arrange egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining spacing between each roll, and lightly brush with olive oil to enhance golden-brown crispiness.
- Baking Process: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until wrappers transform into a crisp, golden exterior with a perfectly melted interior.
- Serving: Allow egg rolls to rest for 2-3 minutes before presenting with a complementary cranberry mustard sauce, ensuring optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Seal Edges Securely: Ensure wrapper edges are tightly sealed with water or egg wash to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Spacing Matters: Place egg rolls separately on baking sheet to allow even air circulation and crispy exterior.
- Oil Lightly: Use minimal olive oil or cooking spray to achieve golden-brown color without making egg rolls greasy.
- Cooling Essential: Let egg rolls rest 2-3 minutes after baking to set filling and prevent burning your mouth.
