450 gGround turkey
120 gCarrots
350 gCabbage
70 gBean sprouts
4 Scallions
4 clovesGarlic
1 tbspGinger
1 tbspHoisin sauce
1.5 tbspRapeseed oil
2.4 tbspSoy sauce
1 tspHoney
16 Egg roll wrappers
  1. Shred the carrots and cabbage. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet (or cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat until hot. Add the carrot and cabbage. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and stir for 1 minute.
  2. Add the honey and 1/3 of the soy sauce. Cook and stir for another minute until the liquid has evaporated. Transfer everything to a plate to cool. Add the remaining oil and the garlic and ginger into the same skillet. Stir for 20 to 30 seconds, to release the fragrance. Add the ground turkey (or chicken). Cook while chopping the ground meat into small bits with a spatula, until lightly browned.
  3. Add the remaining soy sauce and the hoisin sauce and some black pepper. Stir and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer everything to a medium-sized bowl to cool. Add the cooked vegetables and green onions to the bowl of ground turkey. Stir to mix well.
  4. To prepare the wrapping station: Add some water to a small bowl. Place the egg roll wrappers on a plate along with a spoon and the filling. Prepare a large plate or oven tray to hold the wrapped egg rolls and a cutting board for wrapping the egg rolls.
  5. To wrap an egg roll, gently remove one egg roll sheet from the stack using both of your hands and place it on the cutting board, with a corner pointed toward you. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling onto the lower end of the wrapper, making a 4-inch (10 cm) wide, tight and even mound. Tightly roll from the bottom corner toward the top, until about halfway up. Tightly fold the left and right corners of the wrapper towards the center, so it looks like an opened envelope. Dip your finger into the water and brush the top corner of the wrapper. Tightly roll the egg rolls upward until it’s completely sealed. Repeat the process, until you’ve used all the filling.
  6. Cook the egg rolls in batches in the air fryer at 190 C. Spread a few spring rolls in the basket without overlapping them. Spray with a thin layer of oil, or you can bake them without using any oil. Bake for 6 minutes, flip, and bake for another 5 minutes. Once done, let the egg rolls cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving to maximize crispiness.
  7. Serve the egg rolls hot with whichever dipping sauce(s) you prefer.
