Deconstructed Healthy Eggroll

This recipe was inspired by a craving I have had for a while.  As much as I love egg rolls, I do not enjoy all the extra carbs that comes with them when eating at a Chinese restaurant.  So here is my version of egg rolls.

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp. of chili powder
  • 1/2 tbls. of smoked paprika
  • 1 tbls. of dried sage
  • 1 tbls. of dried thyme
  • 1 tbls. of pepper
  • 1 tbls. of garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. of salt
  • 2 tbls. of extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 tbls. of maple syrup
  • 1 lb. of extra lean ground turkey
  • 4-6 cups of chopped or shredded cabbage

Optional Ingredients:

  • green onions
  • 1 tsp. sesame seed oil
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds
  • sriracha

Directions:

  1. Mix all the spices thoroughly with the turkey.
  2. Mix olive oil and maple syrup with the turkey
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and begin to cook meat until browned.
  4. Add cabbage and begin to cook until wilted, not translucent.  Cooking until wilted gives it a nice crunch.
  5. If so desired, top with green onions, sesame seed oil, sesame seeds and sriracha.
