Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface with 1 corner pointing toward you (wrapper should look like a diamond). Trim 1 inch off right and left corners of wrapper. Spoon 3 tablespoons turkey filling into center of wrapper. Fold lower corner of egg roll wrapper over filling. Fold in trimmed corners. Moisten top corner of wrapper with egg white; roll up jelly-roll fashion. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, turkey filling, and egg white.



Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden brown.



To prepare sauce, combine 3/4 cup soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon ginger; serve with egg rolls. Garnish with green onions, if desired.

Wow. I made these tonight to go with onesassy's Honey Sesame Chicken. Wow again! These egg rolls are delicious! I was skeptical about the whole "baking" instead of "frying" thing, but egg rolls are apparently delicious either way! The sauce has a good flavor, but even with the low-sodium soy sauce, I found it to be quite salty. Still, tasty though! Oh, and I substituted ground chicken for the turkey, since that's what I had in the freezer :) Worked well! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe! :)
