How to Make Turkey Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls:

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggroll wrappers
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled turkey bacon, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well blended and the ingredients are distributed evenly.

  2. Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface, and place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture near one corner of the wrapper.

  3. Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the other two sides tightly, and roll it up from the corner, ensuring it’s securely wrapped. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil for the eggrolls to be partially submerged.

  5. Fry the eggrolls in batches until they turn a golden brown and are crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

  6. Once cooked, remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like salsa or ranch dressing.

How to Serve:

These eggrolls can be enjoyed on their own, but to elevate the experience, consider serving them alongside a creamy avocado dip or a tangy ranch dressing. They’re fantastic with a hot cup of tea or coffee or even enjoyed cold straight from the fridge as a delightful snack.

How to Store:

If you have leftover eggrolls (though unlikely!), let them cool completely before storing. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 hours, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. For reheating, simply pop them in the oven or an air fryer to regain their crispy texture.

Expert Tips:

  1. Make sure not to overmix the filling; you want to maintain some texture from the jalapeños and turkey bacon.
  2. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
  3. Keep a close eye on the oil temperature while frying; too hot, and they’ll burn; too cold, and they’ll turn soggy.

Delicious Variations:

  • Vegan Version: Use plant-based cream cheese and substitute turkey bacon with smoky tempeh or mushrooms.
  • Gluten-free Alternative: Use rice paper wrappers instead of eggroll wrappers for a gluten-free option.
  • Cheesy Additions: Incorporate different cheeses such as pepper jack for additional heat or even cream cheese stuffed with herbs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can I use frozen eggroll wrappers?
    Yes, you can use frozen eggroll wrappers. Just make sure to thaw them completely before use.

  2. Can I bake these eggrolls instead of frying?
    Absolutely! For a healthier option, brush them lightly with olive oil and bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  3. What can I substitute for turkey bacon?
    If you prefer a different flavor, you can swap turkey bacon for traditional bacon or crumbled sausage.

Incorporating these Turkey Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls into your recipe repertoire is a decision you won’t regret.
