Thanksgiving Deli Roll Recipe

Thanksgiving Deli Roll Recipe

Deli meats are tasty and all, but if you think about it, puff pastry is a blank canvas for amazingness. And Thanksgiving leftovers are no exception. In place of deli turkey, I’m using roasted turkey. And a mustard-spiked cranberry sauce in place of mustard. Maybe you want to add mashed potatoes (or stuffing!) and dip the whole thing in gravy? I definitely won’t stop you. Just make sure you use pareve puff pastry, or save your turkey for sandwiches and go dairy with brie and cranberry sauce instead. Either way, leftovers have never been so delicious.

Ingredients:

For cranberry sauce:

• 1 12-oz bag fresh cranberries, picked through
• ¾ cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard

For deli roll:

• 1 piece puff pastry (you can use homemade or 1/2 of a 17.3 oz package)
• 1 ½ cups shredded roasted turkey (you can also use deli turkey)
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
• 1 egg, whisked
• ¼ cup salted pumpkin seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. First, make the cranberry sauce. You can also mix mustard into leftover cranberry sauce if you have it! Combine cranberries, brown sugar, orange zest, and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then lower to medium low heat and cook uncovered until cranberries burst and sauce thickens, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in mustard and cool.
3. Now, it’s deli roll time. Spread puff pastry on a clean surface and flatten a bit with a rolling pin. Spread half the cranberry sauce on the puff pastry, and then top evenly with a thin layer of shredded turkey. Sprinkle with rosemary.
4. Roll like a jelly roll from the short side, so the end result is longer. Secure the seam under the roll. Brush with egg wash and top with pumpkin seeds.
