My mom makes the best egg rolls, she really makes everything so good. I attempted to make them the other night from memory for my family and not surprised my kids loved them too, even Finn! They are the easiest egg rolls to make and we bake them instead of fry. You could easily fry or even air fry this egg roll recipe. They are packed with veggies, protein and simple ingredients. My mom made them last night and to my surprise, they tasted really similar to what I made! Sharing the egg roll recipe with you today!
We also made soup to eat with our egg rolls, a Thai Coconut Peanut Soup…so good! Find that soup recipe HERE.
Easy Egg Roll Recipe
I have the recipe below, but I will walk you through the steps with photos first. Chop the cabbage, onions, celery and shredded carrots. Another quick option is to use a bag of shredded coleslaw.
After preparing the vegetables we cooked the ground turkey with the chopped onion and a little olive oil over medium heat. Once the meat was cooked we added soy sauce or coconut aminos, salt, pepper and all the chopped veggies, so they could soften up.
After the veggies soften we put them in a colander so they could cool down. And the best part… add a handful of chopped peanuts, my mom likes unsalted Spanish Peanuts. So good!
