Want to lighten up your diet? Use turkey! The only problem is it seems as if every recipe using turkey out there is the same i.e. turkey meatballs, turkey burgers, turkey stuffed peppers, turkey chili, turkey meatloaf blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong those are all great uses of turkey and are delicious but don't you ever want something different? I definitely do which is why when I came upon this recipe I was stoked and eager to make it. Not to mention these are a healthy and low fat version of egg rolls, always a plus!
Serves 7 (2 rolls per person)
The Ingredients
Egg rolls:
2/3 cup
coarsely chopped celery
2/3 cup
coarsely chopped carrot
2 cups
shredded cabbage
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2/3 cup
chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon
minced peeled fresh ginger
1
garlic clove, minced
1/2 pound
ground turkey breast
1 1/2 tablespoons
low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
14
egg roll wrappers
1
large egg white
Cooking spray
Sauce:
3/4 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons
rice vinegar
2 tablespoons
dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon
minced peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup
thinly sliced green onions
The Process
1.) Preheat oven to 425°.
2.) Combine celery and carrot in food processor, and pulse 10 times or until finely chopped.
3.) Combine celery mixture and cabbage in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at high 5 minutes; drain.
4.) Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add
turkey; cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cabbage mixture, 1 1/2
tablespoons soy sauce, and pepper. Cover and chill 15 minutes.
5.) Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface with 1 corner
pointing toward you (wrapper should look like a diamond). Trim 1 inch
off right and left corners of wrapper. Spoon 3 tablespoons turkey
filling into center of wrapper. Fold lower corner of egg roll wrapper
over filling. Fold in trimmed corners. Moisten top corner of wrapper
with egg white; roll up jelly-roll fashion. Repeat procedure with
remaining wrappers, turkey filling, and egg white.
6.) Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray, and place, seam side
down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18
minutes or until golden brown.
