INGREDIENTS
  

  • 500 g ground turkey (17.6 oz)
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 3 grated carrots
  • 3 grated zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon parsley
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce optional
  • 100 g grated Edam cheese (red cheese) (3.5 oz )
  • Salt and pepper
  • Espelette pepper
  • Oregano (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sandwich cheese
  • 750 g spring roll wrappers (small diameter brick sheet) (26.5 oz )

To seal the spring roll wrappers :

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons water more or less, depending on the desired consistency

PREPARATION

Filling

  • Sauté 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 chopped onion in a frying pan.
  • When the onions become translucent, add the grated zucchinis and carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a fork to crumble the ground meat.
  • Add the parsley and oregano. Cover and let simmer until all the water has evaporated.
  • Remove from heat when the vegetables are no longer tender-crisp. If necessary, pour into a colander to drain well.
  • Let it cool before adding the grated cheese.

Shaping the spring rolls

  • Brush the spring roll wrappers with oil if you plan to bake them in the oven, otherwise, use them without brushing if you are going to fry them.
  • Place a roll of filling on one side of the brick sheet and put half a rectangle of cheese on top. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling to form a rectangle, then roll into a cigar.
  • Seal the edge with the flour and water paste or egg yolk. Place the shaped cigars on a tray covered with cling film and leave to dry.

Cooking spring rolls

  • Frying is the best method for cooking bricks if you don’t mind the oil. It gives a better golden brown color and a crispier texture. They won’t absorb oil. That said, baking in the oven also yields great results.
  • Heat a frying pan with enough oil or use a deep fryer, and submerge the bricks. The oil should completely cover them.
  • Fry on high heat at first, and once the outer layer hardens, lower the heat to medium to achieve a nice golden brown color.
  • Frozen bricks are cooked the same way. Pat them dry with a paper towel if they have frost, and fry them directly without thawing.
  • If you prefer baking, place the spring rolls (bricks) in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180°C (356°F) and finish baking until they turn golden brown.
