Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 4 stalks Green onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg white
• 20 sheets Whole wheat lumpia wrappers
• 1 bottle Olive oil spray
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely grate the carrot using a box grater or food processor.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, discarding the seeds and stem.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions, including both the white and green parts.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and minced garlic.

Step 6

Add the low-sodium soy sauce, ground black pepper, and the egg white to the mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 7

Lay a lumpia wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you to form a diamond shape.

Step 8

Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the wrapper, placing it about 2 inches from the bottom corner.

Step 9

Begin rolling the wrapper over the filling, tightly tucking in the sides as you roll upwards toward the top corner.

Step 10

Dab the top corner with a little water to seal the roll and place it seam-side down on a tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture and wrappers.

Step 11

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Lightly spray the lumpia with olive oil spray to enhance crispiness.

Step 13

Place the lumpia in batches in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.

Step 14

Air fry each batch for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are lightly golden and crispy.

Step 15

Serve the lumpia warm as an appetizer or snack, optionally with a heart-healthy dipping sauce.
