Learn how to make gluten free spring rolls wrapped in rice paper. You’ll love these for an appetizer, snack or even lunch.
One day when my children were very young we made spring rolls together. Oh, how they enjoyed rolling the meat inside a phyllo pastry.
Since we found out about their gluten intolerance, spring rolls became just a memory. Until today.
Is rice paper gluten free?
Yes! Today we made a gluten-free alternative. We used rice paper wrappers. They’re just as fun to make and delightful to eat.
Ready to make some? Here we go.

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
Here’s our step by step method:
Cook ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking up with a spatula for 3 minutes. Season with garlic and salt and cook until your turkey is no longer pink, about 2 more minutes. Then drain.
Combine the turkey mixture in a bowl with bok choy, scallions, tamari sauce, sherry, and oil.
How to wrap spring rolls
It’s easy to wrap your delicious filling in your rice paper.
Fill a bowl with warm water. Soak rice paper one at a time in the water, about 5 seconds.
Move the rice paper to a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of your turkey mixture.
Roll up once, fold in the sides and then finish rolling. Repeat for each spring roll.
Pro tips and recipe notes
- If you prefer a crispier taste, let your spring rolls sit until the wrapping is firm and then fry them in oil for 4-5 minutes and drain on a paper towel. They’re similar to an egg roll and so good.
- Our turkey mixture is delicious. Feel free to go with other fillings. In the next picture, you can see our deep-fried gluten free spring rolls made with cubed chicken, onion, kale and tamari sauce. It’s up to you.
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days which makes them a great grab-and-go lunch.

Thank you for sharing! I was wondering how you used rice paper. We bought some the other day and my hubby tried using it but we didn’t realize you soak it first. LOL

Hello Liz,
Thank you for visiting. You can include any combination of vegetables or meat depending on your tastes. The vote is in for the deep fried version. My family definitely liked the spring rolls crispy.
