egg_rollsThis clean eating egg roll recipe was adapted to promote the reduction of inflammation within the body. Introducing certain spices, such as turmeric, into recipes can help fight inflammation and promote a better sense of wellness within your body!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 lb ground chicken breast
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/4 cup chopped peppers (any color or variety of colors)
1/4 cup chopped snow peas
1 spring onion (aka green onion), chopped
1/4 cup sliced or chopped brown mushrooms
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 tsp Turmeric
10 egg roll wrappers (see note below)
Coconut Oil

Egg-Roll-FillingDIRECTIONS
Brown ground chicken. When nearly cooked, add veggies and turmeric.
Add egg whites, stirring often.
Cook until veggies reach desired softness/crispness and chicken & egg whites are cooked through.
In a bowl, mix together chicken/veggies and cabbage.
Place about 2 Tbsp of mixture in the center of an egg roll wrapper.
Fold in sides, then the bottom over the stuffing.
Wet remaining top of wrapper with a bit of water and roll it up. Continue until all 10 are rolled.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 Tbsp coconut oil.
Cook egg rolls, two at a time, rolling often to completely brown. Add 1 Tbsp of oil as needed.
Remove cooked rolls to a plate with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Gluten Free Options –  Regular GF wrappers tend to not brown & crisp like the ones containing wheat. You can use Rudi’s Plain GF Tortillas or Rice Paper (a little more fragile – however, they do brown & crisp).
