Leftover Holiday Collard Wraps with “Turkey” Jackfruit

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Put your plant-based Thanksgiving leftovers to use in this gluten and grain free wrap that’s easy to assemble. Enjoy anytime holiday food is in the fridge!

How was your Thanksgiving?

Mine was stupendous.

We ate, drank, and played more than one to many rounds of the games Things (which you need to buy and play immediately!)

The day after Thanksgiving means blasting the Christmas music for real, although I’ve low key been listening since mid-November.

It also means we’re left with…all the leftovers.

Are you in a tofurkey coma today?

If your body is like mine, after a day celebrating the eats, it might be begging you for some greens, please.

What if I told you we could use up the leftovers and get your greens together in a succinct meal that won’t dirty up tons of extra dishes?

These Leftover Holiday Collard Wraps combine are light and easy and combines all of your favorite post-feast flavors in one gloriously green bite.

Yesterday Dan and I celebrated at my parents’ house and everyone brought a dish to share.

I was pretty proud of the final colorful spread we arranged in the kitchen for mass consumption.

There was my sweet potato casserole, the BEST roasted brussels my cousin made (definitely requesting the recipe for that one), the colorful quinoa salad my aunt and uncle brought, and the cranberry salad and corn casserole my mom made.

For dessert, we had an assortment of pies and my butternut brownies!

When it comes to leftovers, you probably have a little of this and that, so feel free to adjust the proportions and get creative with your additions for this recipe.

This Thanksgiving left me with lots of sweet potato smash, roasted brussel sprouts, and low sugar orange cranberry sauce.

Hashtag blessed.

The concept here is simple, friends; take all of the leftover things and roll them into a fresh collard wrap.

Savor and rejoice that you can eat this meal on repeat until Christmas.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I adore these elephant ear greens for a grain-free and gluten-free alternative to wrapping!

There is a time and a place for smaller collards, but I’m going to advice you that this is the perfect place for large collards– the bigger the better.

All the more room to stuff you with, my dear.

I love to use the sweet potato smash as the first line of defense to pile the rest of the leftovers on.

Next, add any roasted veggies, and a splash of cranberry sauce for tart brightness.

If you’re looking for a meaty alternative to tie things together, try out this variation of “Turkey” Jackfruit that you can whip up on the stovetop in under 30 minutes for stuffing these wraps.

The shredded jackfruit has a “meaty” like texture that acts as a sponge to absorb vegetable broth, and dried herbs to make a savory centerpiece.

For the Jackfruit, I used from Edward & Sons. These unseasoned and pre- cut chunks make this “meaty” Jackfruit prep super fast and easy!

Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for fun!

If you aren’t into jackfruit, some other protein ideas are baked tofu or tempeh, lentils, quinoa, or rice.

Try these Leftover Holiday Collard Wraps anytime you’ve got a bit too much holiday food in the fridge.

I love combining all of the flavors together the same way I mix them all together on my plate the day of.

If you’re not a fan of collard greens, try using kale leaves, swiss chard, or your favorite tortillas to wrap things up.

The wraps are plenty moist and delicious without any dressing or sauce, but if you want to add a tahini dressing here I certainly don’t think it could hurt.

Enjoy!

Description

Put your plant-based Thanksgiving leftovers to use in this gluten and grain free wrap that’s easy to assemble. Enjoy anytime holiday food is in the fridge!


Ingredients

LEFTOVER HOLIDAY COLLARD WRAPS

  • 4 large collard leaves, rinsed and trimmed
  • 2 cup sweet potato smash, or sweet potato casserole
  • 1 cup low sugar orange cranberry sauce (or sub any cranberry sauce or salad)
  • 2 cups roasted brussel sprouts
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • OPTIONAL: any other leftovers you want to throw in

JACKFRUIT “TURKEY”

  • drizzle of avocado oil
  • 14 oz Organic Unseasoned Young Jackfruit Pieces (2 boxes)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth + more as needed
  • 6 oz Organic Sliced Crimini Mushrooms
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • OPTIONAL: Organic Gluten Free Vegan Worcestershire

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jackfruit first. Remove from the package and rinse in a colander under cool water and pat dry.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium with a drizzle of avocado oil. Add the jackfruit pieces and saute for 2-3 minutes, until the jackfruit starts to color slightly.
  3. Add in the vegetable broth, sliced mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and pinch of sea salt. Cover and cook over medium for 10 minutes, or until the jackfruit has absorbed the vegetable broth.Add more broth as needed if the pan runs dry. Add optional dash of Worcestershire sauce, if desired. Refrigerate until ready for use.
  4. Wash the collard greens and cut off the protruding stem. Flip the collard leaf over and trim the woody stem so it’s flush with the leaf. Lay face down for assembly.
  5. Spread the sweet potato smash on the collard leaves and top with orange cranberry sauce, roasted brussel sprouts, green onion, and shredded jackfruit. Toss on any other leftovers you might have on hand.
  6. Roll up carefully, folding in the ends and edges, so you have a burrito shape. Slice the collard wrap in half, or enjoy as is.
  7. Repeat until the leftovers are gone!

Notes

Instructions don’t include time needed to cook sweet potato smash, cranberry sauce, or roasted brussels sprout leftovers.

IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣 - T IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣
-
This weekend I tackled cleaning and organizing a closet that I’d been avoiding. 🚪
-
It’s a spacious closet in my spare bedroom. It’s also the first place I put things I rarely use, storage stuff, and items that don’t have a home. Basically, it’s a giant walk-in “junk” drawer.
-
Over time, it’s gotten so full I could hardly open the door without a stuffed animal falling from the top shelf or stepping on a prickly Christmas wreath.
-
“Out of sight, out of mind,” I reasoned, keeping the door tightly shut. But I could feel the weight of the things through the walls. The cluttered closet had a pulse, a heaviness, a resistance. 
-
I was listening to @theminimalists podcast this week— the topic was letting go of “sentimental” stuff. They bluntly posed the question, “How would you feel if all of the stuff spontaneously combust?”
-
I thought about my closet, POOF, gone, in the blink of an eye. All of the things in there that I couldn’t even name, no longer my responsibility. Imagining all of that stuff taken from me in a catastrophe outside of my control, I felt relief. 
-
While I’m glad my closet didn’t *actually* implode, my reaction to the exercise made me realize that I needed to let go of some things to make space in my house, my head, and my heart.
-
So Saturday I shuffled through old stuff, filled boxes to donate, and stuffed trash bags. I didn’t let go of all of it, but it felt like a big step towards lightness and freedom. 
-
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I’m on a constant journey towards a more minimalistic life. It’s a constant journey. I donate, I buy, I purge, I collect, I clutter, I minimize. 
-
I strive for everything I own to either have a purpose or bring me immense joy, and how can any possession do either buried under junk behind a shut door?
-
Today, I can walk into the closet unscathed and actually *see* my old high school yearbooks, two guitars, and toolboxes filled with paints and pencils from art school. 
-
Do you have a closet or space like this too? What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of this week? Please share!

CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today. 🍲 Perfect for fickle spring weather that’s cold one minute and warm the next. I grew up eating cans of chicken and wild rice soup so this is a vegan and gluten-free tribute to the classic! This chickpea & wild rice soup packed with garbanzo beans, wild rice, and savory herbs in a light broth. It’s your new favorite veg-packed soup staple for all year round!
-
Did you know that most wild rice out there isn’t *real* wild rice? In this soup recipe, I used @edenfoods Wild Rice. //#sponsored This gluten-free whole grain is hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, by canoe! In learning more about wild rice production, I discovered that much of the wild rice sold isn’t authentic. *True* wild rice is Native American hand harvested from the wild by canoe, and is wood fire parched!
-
Authentic wild harvested wild rice ranges in color, cooks in only 25 to 30 minutes, is light and fluffy, and has a rich and delicious flavor, unlike the machine harvested stuff that’s black brown, chewy, and takes forever to cook. Outside of its great flavor, and texture, @edenfoods wild rice is rich in B3 and manganese and is a great source of fiber, B1, B2, magnesium, and zinc! It’s amazing added to this soup to keep everything thick and hearty.
