Turkey Dinner “Sushi Roll”

(William Brinson)

Leftovers are some of my favorite ingredients. They are already made, and the fact that they were worth saving guarantees they taste great! I wanted some way to trick out the classic holiday leftovers without making a sandwich. Behold, the sandwich of Japan, the sushi roll!  Robert Mondavi Private Selection Central Coast Chardonnay works in perfect harmony with all of the components individually, so it was a no-brainer to bring them all together in a sushi roll.

Cook Time:

Prep Time:25 min

Total Time:25 min

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

1 half sheet of nori

5 ounce mashed potatoes, chilled

2 ounce turkey, shredded, chilled

1 ounce prepared cranberry sauce

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 Pinch all-purpose flour

Preparation:

On a plastic wrap-covered place mat or plastic wrap covered sushi mat, place the nori, uneven side up. Using gloved hands, work quickly to spread the mashed potatoes over the nori, leaving ¼ of an inch on the side farthest from you. Flip the nori over and arrange the turkey and cranberry sauce in a line down the middle, long ways. Gently use the mat to roll up the roll.

Cut the roll in to 6 or 8 pieces and refrigerate until ready to eat.

In a small sauce pan combine the butter and soy sauce. Heat until the butter is melted, approx. 45-60 seconds.

Gently whisk in the two pinches of AP flour. Behold, soy gravy.

Drizzle the gravy over the roll and devour.

These can be prepared en masse and refrigerated. Perfect for a Black Friday snack.
