I love egg rolls from Chinese restaurants but they are so full of fat from being fried. Here is a recipe that will spare you the fat and mess from frying. For a variation, replace meat with about 1 cup mixture of mushrooms, more cabbage, bean sprouts, and/or carrots. Keep the eggroll wrappers in their wrapper or cover them with a moist kitchen towel so they don't dry out.

How To Make baked egg rolls with ground turkey

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small skillet, brown the ground turkey. Set aside.
  • 2
    Spray a large skillet or wok with non-stick cooking spray or 1 Tbsp of cooking oil. Over high heat, stir-fry 1 - 2 cloves of garlic and ginger for a few seconds.
  • 3
    Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted.
  • 4
    Add cooked turkey to the cabbage mixture.
  • 5
    Mix soy sauce and corn starch in a small bowl.
  • 6
    Add soy sauce/corn starch and the vegetables to the cabbage mixture. Cook for 1 minute, or so, until thickened. Remove from the heat and allow to slightly cool.
  • 7
    Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • 8
    Turn an egg roll wrapper so it looks like a diamond. Place 1/4 cup of filling just below the center.
  • 9
    Fold the lower point of the diamond over the filling tucking it under the filling. Fold the left and right corners over that. Tightly roll the egg roll.
  • 10
    Moisten the top corner with a bit of water to prevent it from unrolling. Repeat until you run out of wrappers or filling.
  • 11
    Place egg rolls, seam side down, on the baking sheet. They can be close together but shouldn't touch. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 12
    Bake 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown.
