Shred the Turkey Meat:
Take cooked turkey meat (you can use leftover turkey if available), and shred it using your hands or a fork. Place the shredded turkey in a medium-sized bowl and pour half of the hoisin sauce mixture over the meat. Toss the turkey to coat it evenly with the sauce, infusing it with the flavors of the hoisin and rice vinegar. -
Prepare the Rice Paper Sheets:
Fill a shallow bowl with hot water. Take one rice paper sheet at a time and submerge it in the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable and soft. Carefully remove the rice paper and shake off any excess water. Lay it flat on a damp, clean cloth to prevent it from sticking to the surface. -
Assemble the Rice Paper Rolls:
At one end of the softened rice paper, place about 1 tablespoon of the shredded turkey mixture. On top of the turkey, add 2-3 sticks of julienned Lebanese cucumber and a few slices of spring onion. These fresh vegetables will provide a crisp and refreshing contrast to the tender turkey. -
Roll the Rice Paper:
Carefully fold in the sides of the rice paper, then gently roll it up from the end with the filling. Be sure to roll it tightly enough to secure the ingredients, but not so tight that the rice paper tears. Place the finished roll on a damp cloth and cover to keep it moist while you prepare the remaining rolls. -
Serve:
Once all the rolls are assembled, serve them with the remaining hoisin sauce mixture for dipping. These rolls can be enjoyed as a light meal or served at parties as an appetizer.
Tips:
- Rice Paper: Make sure to handle the rice paper gently. If it becomes too soft or fragile, it might tear. If you’re not familiar with working with rice paper, practice a few rolls first until you get the feel of it.
- Protein Options: If you prefer, you can substitute the turkey with chicken breast, shrimp, or even tofu for a different flavor profile.
- Vegetables: For added crunch and flavor, you can include thin slices of carrots, bell peppers, or even lettuce to the filling.
- Storage: Rice paper rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a day. Cover them with a damp cloth or paper towel to keep them moist.
These Rice Paper Rolls with Turkey are a healthy, fresh, and vibrant meal that’s as versatile as it is delicious.
