Turkey-Mushroom Egg Rolls image

I slow-cook ground turkey and mushrooms in a hoisin, soy and sesame sauce, then roll up the mixture with crunchy veggies to make finger-licking egg rolls. They are a favorite with guests-I never have leftovers. -Sarah Herse, Brooklyn, New York

Roll egg roll up tightly, pressing at tip to seal. Repeat., In an electric skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil to 375°.
