Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), minced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers

  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.

  2. Combine turkey, egg, onion, garlic, cumin, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well with your hands.

  3. Position a wonton wrapper on a cutting board so it looks like a diamond. Spread a heaping teaspoonful of the turkey mixture in a horizontal line across the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold over the bottom corner and roll once. Fold over the two side corners and roll again to secure. Dampen the top corner with a little cool water. Roll up and press to seal.

  4. Place the roll on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls, arranging them in a single layer. Freeze until ready to fry.

  5. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the lumpia in batches, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and cut in half. Fry again for 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
