    Found this from Cooking Light. Had 4 stars though I had not tried it personally - let me know if its worth it!!

    Love the roll too - Vietnamese rolls are awesome as well (non-fried but uses rice wrappers)

    YIELD: 14 servings (serving size: 1 roll and about 1 tablespoon sauce)
    COURSE: Appetizers, Hors d'Oeuvres
    Ingredients
    Egg rolls:
    2/3 cup coarsely chopped celery
    2/3 cup coarsely chopped carrot
    2 cups shredded cabbage
    1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
    2/3 cup chopped onion
    1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/2 pound ground turkey breast
    1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    14 egg roll wrappers
    1 large egg white
    Cooking spray
    Sauce:
    3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    6 tablespoons rice vinegar
    2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
    1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
    1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions (optional)

    Preparation
    Preheat oven to 425°.
    Combine celery and carrot in food processor, and pulse 10 times or until finely chopped.
    Combine celery mixture and cabbage in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at high 5 minutes; drain.
    Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add turkey; cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cabbage mixture, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and pepper. Cover and chill 15 minutes.
    Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface with 1 corner pointing toward you (wrapper should look like a diamond). Trim 1 inch off right and left corners of wrapper. Spoon 3 tablespoons turkey filling into center of wrapper. Fold lower corner of egg roll wrapper over filling. Fold in trimmed corners. Moisten top corner of wrapper with egg white; roll up jelly-roll fashion. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, turkey filling, and egg white.
    Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
    To prepare sauce, combine 3/4 cup soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon ginger; serve with egg rolls. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
