Indulge in the delicious flavors of gluten-free spring rolls, wrapped in delicate rice paper and filled with savory goodness. A wholesome, satisfying choice for appetizers or light meals.

One day when my children were very young we made spring rolls together. Oh, how they enjoyed rolling the savory meat inside a phyllo pastry.

Since we found out about their gluten intolerance, spring rolls became just a memory. Until today, that is.

You know what’s exciting? We discovered a gluten-free alternative!

We swapped out the phyllo pastry for rice paper wrappers.

Is rice paper gluten free?

Yes! Rice paper spring rolls are just as fun to make and oh-so-delicious to eat. Plus, they’re totally gluten-free! Who knew, right?

Most grocery stores carry rice paper wrappers in the international or Asian foods section. Check with your local store or visit an Asian market for a wide selection.

I can’t wait to include these gluten-free spring rolls in both my collection of appetizers and side dishes, as well as, my lineup of satisfying lunch recipes, adding a touch of freshness and flavor to your meal.

Low carb options

If you’re watching your carb intake, it’s worth noting that rice paper wrappers do have carbs. To enjoy a low-carb, gluten-free version of spring rolls, consider alternatives such as lettuce like my Philly Cheesesteak Lettuce Wraps or cabbage like my Tastiest Low Carb Stuffed Cabbage.

Now that we’ve uncovered this gluten-free gem, let me walk you through the ingredients and instructions for making these tasty Gluten-Free Spring Rolls in Rice Paper Wrappers.

Instructions

*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.

Pair your Spring Rolls with Cole Slaw With Sugar-Free Dressing, a crisp garden-fresh Cucumber Salad, or some Air Fryer Broccolini on the side.

In addition, offer a variety of dipping sauces such as gluten free peanut sauce, gluten free sweet chili sauce, or homemade Sugar Free Teriyaki Sauce from my Stir Fry Chicken Teriyaki recipe.

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.
