Thanksgiving Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and sugar. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and cool to about 110 degrees F. Scatter the yeast over the surface of the liquid and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt and set aside.
• Pour the milk and yeast mixture into the bowl of flour and mix until a soft, ragged mixture is formed. Transfer the flour mixture to a well-floured work surface and knead by hand until a soft, elastic dough is formed, about 10 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm spot, until puffed and doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Transfer the dough to the work surface and, using your hands, gently flatten into a disc. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Using your hands, round each dough piece into a ball.
• Butter a buttered 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish. Place the balls of dough, seam side-down, in 3 rows of 4 each. Cover with a kitchen towel and place in a warm spot until they've risen almost to the top of the baking dish, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and liberally brush the rolls with it. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer the rolls to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Pour milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup butter, and salt; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Cover bowl, and set in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, cover the bowl, and allow to rise again. Repeat this step two more times.
• Break off 2 to 3 inch size pieces of dough, roll lightly into round shape, and place in prepared baking dish, edges touching. Repeat to make 36 dough balls. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake rolls in preheated oven until tops turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, drizzle melted butter over the top, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan on the stovetop until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss turkey and 1/2 cup gravy in a bowl until well combined.
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a plate or a clean cutting board with one of the corners pointing up, so it is positioned like a diamond. Pour some water into a small bowl next to the plate. Layer 2 tablespoons mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the turkey-gravy mixture, 2 tablespoons stuffing, and 1/2 tablespoon of cranberry sauce in a vertical line in the center of the wrapper.
• Dip your fingertips in the bowl of water and swipe some water around the edges of the egg roll wrapper. Fold the top and bottom corners of the egg roll wrapper over the filling. Next, fold in the left corner, then roll from left to right until the egg roll is completely wrapped. Wet your fingers with additional water and trace the parts of the egg roll wrapper that connect to each other and pinch lightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fry egg rolls in batches in the hot oil, turning often, until golden brown and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
