Soul Rolls


So we've been watching the Rachel vs. Guy Celebrity Chef Cookoff on Food Network every Sunday. The most surprising cooks to me have been Lou Diamond Phillips and Coolio, the self-proclaimed ghetto gourmet.  Today I decided to attempt his recipe for "soul rolls". These are described as 'fried, but healthy'. 
They were quite yummy! (photos below)

Soul Rolls
Ingredients
1 package spring roll wrappers
1 lb. ground turkey, chicken, or beef
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
Small pile shredded cheddar or jack cheese
1 head shredded green cabbage
Sunflower oil in a wok for frying (heated high enough that a sprinkle of water pings when dropped in)
1 dollop or so chili sauce and salsa
Directions
  1. Remove spring roll wrappers from the package and cover with a damp towel to keep from drying out.
  2. Put ground meat in a bowl and add salt, pepper, onion, and garlic.
  3. Combine well with chili sauce and salsa.
  4. Sautee meat, breaking it up as it cooks.
  5. Assemble rolls (don't over stuff!): Spread out one wrapper. Sprinkle cabbage on wrapper. Add a small amount of beef. Sprinkle on some cheese. Roll wrapper nice and tight and seal with a bit of water.
  6. Slide rolls into fryer, making sure not to overcrowd the wok.
  7. Keep rolls turning in the oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Remove, drain, and enjoy
Healthy Ingredients!


Ground Turkey 1#, just seasoned with
salt, pepper, and a little garlic
and onion powder.


About a 1/4 C of turkey


A little cheese, maybe 1/8 C.


For ease, I used package cole slaw mix with cabbage and carrots;
Then I didn't have to chop it. Also, rinsed & packaged spinach.


On the side, a little sweet chili sauce.
Voila!  Reminds me a bit of the Filipino egg rolls
my friend Grace makes (Lumpia)
