Ground Turkey Lumpia with Vegetables

Crispy on the outside and savory on the inside, this ground turkey lumpia is packed with garlic, onions, and carrots, then fried until golden brown. Traditionally, you would finely dice the vegetables, but I wanted to try something different and blended them together for speed. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party finger food, these Filipino-style spring rolls are best served hot with sweet chili sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs ground turkey

  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped

  • 3–4 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 carrot, roughly chopped

  • Handful of parsley

  • 20–25 lumpia wrappers

  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Oil, for frying

  • Thai chili sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Traditionally, the vegetables are finely diced. For a quicker method, blend garlic, onion, parsley and carrot in a blender or food processor until finely minced.

  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey with the prepared vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

  3. Place ½ tablespoon of filling near the bottom of each lumpia wrapper. Roll tightly and seal the edges with beaten egg.

  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry lumpia in batches for 5–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

  5. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

Serve hot with your favorite Thai chili sauce or sweet and sour dipping sauce. Great as a snack, appetizer, or party dish.
