For the Dipping Sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons avocado oil
A splash of vinegar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
For the Spring Rolls
½ pound ground turkey
6 egg roll wrappers
1 cup shaved cabbage (red or green)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Directions
- Step 1: Make the Dipping Sauce
- Combine soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, chili flakes, avocado oil, vinegar, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir well and let it sit to allow flavors to blend.
- Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a little avocado oil. Add the ground turkey and cook until it begins to brown.
- Add diced onion, garlic, and half of the dipping sauce mixture. Cook until the onion softens, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Mix well, then drain any excess liquid. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Wrap the Rolls
- Lay one wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Step 4: Air Fry the Spring Rolls
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Lightly brush or spray the basket with avocado oil.
- Arrange the spring rolls in a single layer, leaving space between each roll. Lightly brush oil on the outside of the rolls.
- Cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving with the dipping sauce.
Tips for Success
- Pre-shredded cabbage and carrots save time and make the process quicker.
- Do not overfill the wrappers; this keeps them from tearing.
- For extra crispiness, lightly brush the wrappers with oil before air frying.
- Adjust spice level in the dipping sauce with more or less chili flakes.
