Ingredients
- Leftover turkey
- Rice paper wrappers
- Shredded carrots
- Cucumber
- Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro)
- Dipping sauce
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by shredding or finely chopping the leftover turkey into thin strips. Julienne the cucumber and ensure carrots are finely shredded.
- Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water for softening rice paper wrappers. Have a clean, damp kitchen towel nearby to help with rolling.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not completely soft. Carefully remove and lay flat on the damp towel.
- Place a small handful of shredded turkey near the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides for folding.
- Add shredded carrots, cucumber strips, and torn fresh herbs like mint and cilantro on top of the turkey.
- Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, creating a tight package while rolling upward.
- Seal the top edge of the wrapper by pressing gently. The moisture will help it stick together.
- Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling until all spring rolls are assembled.
- Serve immediately with prepared dipping sauce, or cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Tips
- • Work quickly when handling rice paper wrappers to prevent tearing • Keep a damp kitchen towel nearby to help with rolling and prevent sticking • Don't overfill your spring rolls, which can make them difficult to seal • Use room temperature ingredients for easier rolling • If rice paper tears, simply start over with a new wrapper • Serve immediately or cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out • Experiment with different fresh herbs for unique flavor combinations • Warm your dipping water to help rice paper become more pliable
