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.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This recipe is a healthier take on a take-out favorite. The filling is full of flavor thanks to the fresh ginger and garlic. We loved the layer of texture the bean sprouts added. They're everything you'd expect from egg rolls, only ground turkey is used instead of beef or pork. Since they're baked, the outside is not as crisp as frying them but do crisp. If you love egg rolls but are trying to eat healthier, you will love these baked egg rolls.
