Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking tray with vegetable oil.
2
Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrots, setting them aside for later.
3
In a large skillet or wok, cook the ground turkey or pork over medium heat, adding the minced ginger, sesame oil, and salt. Stir frequently until the meat is browned and cooked through.
4
Transfer the cooked meat to a large mixing bowl, leaving the remaining oil in the pan.
5
Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the same pan and sauté with a couple of tablespoons of water. Cook until the vegetables are just limp and the water has evaporated.

Combine the sautéed vegetables with the meat in the mixing bowl, ensuring the ingredients are well integrated.
7
Lay out a spring roll wrapper and brush one side with vegetable oil. Flip over so the oiled side is down.
8
Place one-twentieth of the filling diagonally across the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up the wrapper to form a neat tube shape.
9
Repeat the previous step for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Arrange the prepared spring rolls on the greased baking tray with some space in between each.
11
