Ingredients

• 12 pieces Egg roll wrappers
• 1 pound Ground chicken or turkey
• 2 cups Shredded green cabbage
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0 Olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground chicken or turkey over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. This will be used to seal the edges of the egg roll wrappers.

Step 6

To assemble the egg rolls, place an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 7

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides in tightly. Roll the wrapper upwards to form a log shape, sealing the top corner with a small dab of the cornstarch slurry. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Place the assembled egg rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the egg rolls halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a homemade peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy!
