Quick and Easy Egg Rolls with Ground Turkey

These egg rolls with ground turkey are absolutely yummy!

I learned how to make egg rolls one summer while staying with my aunt and cousin in the Netherlands.

My aunt is from Thailand, and if my cousin and I wanted to eat, we had to cook.

I learned a lot that summer about everything from the correct way to cut vegetables, to how to make cheap ramen noodles into a true delicacy.

Oh, and egg rolls.

I learned how to roll them, all about the flavors to add, and what to do when they bust open and all of the filling comes out in the wok.

That happens sometimes when you’re a novice.

Egg rolls have become my family’s absolute favorite thing that I cook in the kitchen.

Although egg rolls aren’t that difficult to make, I tend to only pull out my rolling skills for special occasions and celebrations.

What do you need to make egg rolls with ground turkey?

Believe it or not, you don’t need a lot of ingredients to make egg rolls with ground turkey!

Of course, you need ground turkey.

Then, depending on how I feel, I might get a head of cabbage to chop up.

Normally, though, I’ll just pick up a bag of cabbage slaw from the produce section at the store.

You’ll need egg roll wrappers which can also be found in the produce section of the store.

They’re normally with the plant-based meat in the refrigerated area.

Soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper round out the ingredients you’ll need to make these delicious egg rolls.

How to adapt this egg rolls with ground turkey recipe

Once you have the basics down for making egg rolls, you can make them with any ingredient you want!

I love adding bean sprouts to mine, but they’re not always available in the market when I go.
Instead of cabbage slaw, you can use broccoli slaw or any other green you’d like!
Go crazy with different flavor combinations. Add mushrooms, garlic, or anything else fresh you have in the fridge.
You can swap the ground turkey for beef, or leave out meat altogether.

My son is a super picky eater and there’s usually no way I can get him to eat cabbage.

It works when I wrap it all up into an egg roll, though!

I’m sure it works with other vegetables, too!
