Quick, healthier ground turkey egg rolls image

I had bought 2 pkgs of the Noysa eggroll wrappers & had a lot left over from making strawberrry & cream cheese eggrolls & so decided to make a savory eggroll, found everything for tacos in the cabinet & freezer but had no taco shells & decided to try the wrappers. They were eaten up in no time, ( mostly by me & am still stuffed to the gills, lol.) Great for a different yet flavorful appetizer, ( or a meal, such as I did.)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1-1/2 pound(s) lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon(s) non-flavored sesame oil
1 small onion, diced
1 envelope taco seasoning mix ,( i actually used my homemade mix, less salt)
1 cup(s) mild salsa, i used ortega
1-1/2 cup(s) mexican, shredded cheese
1 egg mixed w/ just a little water, ( called, egg wash)
1 small jar of ortega taco sauce, ( i used mild)
1/2 cup(s) light sour cream, ( i used daisy's for it's thickness, even when in "light" form)
parchment paper
olive oil cooking spray
1 package(s) noysa eggroll wrappers(you'll probably have a few left over from the pkg)

Steps:

  • Pour 1 Tbsp of sesame oil in lg skillet, place over med-high heat. Cook diced onion w/ ground turkey & taco seasoning mix, stirring often, until turkey is cooked through. Do not drain since oil should be evaporated.
  • Spoon mix into lg bowl , stir in salsa and cheese, mix well. Place parchment paper onto deep, rimmed cookie sheet. Spray generously w/ olive oil coooking spray. Heat oven to 425.
  • Place eggroll wrapper on work surface at a triangle-angle. Place about 2 good sized tbsps into center of wrapper, fold the tip of the top of triangle over the turkey mix, gently tuck it in & then roll 1/2 way. Tuck both side points of triangle wrapper into the center of eggroll, continue to roll until it looks like an envelope. Brush the " flap" part w/ egg wash. Set in pan. Continue w/ remaining wrappers and mix. Once done, cook for about 10 minutes, turn over each egg roll. Continue cooking until light brown, ( about 5-10 minutes.) Set on a plate w/ paper towels to soak up any excess oil. In a small bowl, whisk taco sauce w/ sour cream & serve as a dipping sauce or use your imagination for other sauces.
