Baked Egg Rolls

I was in the mood to make Asian food one night recently.  I have made egg rolls before and this recipe is especially YUMMY! I found it on this blog called For the Love of Cooking.  You should try these but allow yourself a little bit of time...there's some prep work involved - but they are perfect to make on the weekend and the recipe makes quite a few so they are great for a dinner party or leftovers!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound ground turkey cooked 
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 cups of savoy cabbage, chopped
• 2 cups of shredded carrots
• 2 cups of bean sprouts
• 1 can of water chestnuts, chopped
• 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp corn starch
• 1/4 cup water
• 14 - 18 egg roll wraps
• Sweet chili dipping sauce or sweet and sour sauce (for dipping) 

Directions: 

Cook the ground turkey over medium heat until cooked thoroughly and chopped fine; remove from pan.  Now heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot add the cabbage, sprouts, carrots, chestnuts and ginger to the pan and cook, stirring frequently for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables just begin to wilt but still remain a little bit crisp. Mix the corn starch with the water and mix thoroughly. Add the corn starch mixture and soy sauce to the pan along with the green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

Now place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled mixture on the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom up over the filling. Next, fold the two sides over, making it look like an envelope, then roll it up.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the rolled up egg rolls on a baking sheet. Once you have rolled them all, spray the top of each egg roll with cooking spray. Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes then turn them over. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Serve with sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy.

These are really wonderful and you can omit the turkey to make them vegetarian or get creative and add other ingredients...possibilities are endless with this recipe!
