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.
Today we made a gluten-free alternative. We used rice paper wrappers. They’re just as fun to make and delightful to eat.
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.
Next, 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.
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.
Here’s our deep-fried gluten free spring rolls made with cubed chicken, onion, kale and tamari sauce.
Have you ever made spring rolls? They’re so much fun to eat. I’d love to hear how you like them.
Have a happy and healthy week! 💕

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.
