Curried Apple Turkey Rice RollI had some leftover turkey dinner and created this! Its great meal with a salad!
1 apple, diced (preferably a crunchy apple) 1/2 onion, diced 1/2 - 1 tsp medium yellow curry 1/2 - 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup leftover gravy dash of cayenne (optional) 1 cup (or more) diced leftover turkey 1 cup cold mashed potatoes chopped up 7-8 large round rice wrappers Saute apple, onion and spices in the gravy. (add a bit of water if it gets dry) Add the turkey and chopped mashed potato and stir well. Soak Rice Wraps until soft and lay them out on the counter. Divide the filling between them. Roll them like egg rolls (fold in the ends so the filling stays in) Spray a cookie sheet with vegetable oil and roll each roll up in the oil. Bake at 400' (on convection if you have it - if not you'll have to flip them more and rotate) - flip once. Cook for 20-30 min. until they're browned and crispy. TASTE ALTERNATIVE: You can fill this roll with anything! My kids love tuna Dijon mustard and chopped onion! 1 can makes 3-4 wraps. LEMON CHILI-GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD
