Egg Roll Filling

This is a recipe my family has perfected over years of cooking Chinese food. It may not be exactly what you eat in a Chinese resturant, but take a bite, I bet you are going to enjoy it.

3/4 pound hamburger or ground turkey
1 medium onion, thin slices
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots, fine
salt an pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
seasoned salt to taste
1 pkg. egg roll wrappers

Add all ingredients to pan. Cook until beef or turkey is done. Drain off fat. Fill egg roll wrappers and cook in oven according to package directions or until golden brown on the outside.

My Notes:
*You may add more cabbage or carrots, remember cabbage cooks down.
*Egg roll wrappers are sometimes difficult to find. Try looking in a store that has a wide selection of international foods.
*The directions on how to role the wrappers is inside the package.
*Make sure to let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes before biting into them. They will be very hot on the inside!
