🍔How to make Cheeseburger Egg Rolls (air fryer or oven)
Don't worry if your first one doesn't come out perfect. The more you do, the better they will look and the faster you will work.
Cook onion and ground turkey. Season and remove from heat.
Let the turkey mixture cool until it is cool enough to handle.
Stir the cheese into the turkey mixture.
Place egg roll wrapper with point at top. Add turkey mixture to center of wrapper.
Fold the sides in. It should look like an envelope. With fingertips or a basting brush, wet the top edges of the wrapper. Fold the roll up. The wet edge should seal it closed.
Take the bottom point of the wrapper and bring it up and over the filling.
This is what your egg roll should look like. The more you do, the faster it will go.
OVEN INSTRUCTION: If baking in the oven, place egg rolls on a prepared baking sheet. Give them a spritz of oil or brush a small amount of oil on each one and bake for 20 minutes.
AIR FRYER INSTRUCTION: Place in air fryer basket and spritz or brush with a small amount of oil. Air fry at 400 F for 8 minutes.
Hint: Air fryers run a bit different from brand to brand so you may need to add a minute or two depending on your air fryer model. I have tried 4 models and so far my absolute favorite I can feel good about recommending is the COSORI 5 qt. It is so much quieter than my old version.
As you can see there is little difference between the air fryer and oven version.
I personally prefer the air fryer egg rolls and my husband said he barely noticed a difference but if he had to choose, he would choose the oven-baked ones.
🍽️Variations on Cheeseburger Eggrolls
I mentioned above that this recipe is customizable. Here are just a few ideas but feel free to get creative.
- Spicy - add diced jalapeño peppers or buffalo sauce
- Saucy - add guacamole, ketchup, mustard, steak sauce or ranch dressing
- Veggies - add chopped, cooked mushrooms, peppers, pickles
🥗Dipping sauces and Serving ideas
I eat them as is but my family prefers a dipper. Here are some of the dipping sauces my family tells me work well with these egg rolls.
- ketchup
- Chick-fil-A sauce
- ranch dressing
- salsa
- switch up the cheese to a spicy pepper jack for a little kick
- simple marinara dipping sauce
🥘How to store and reheat cheeseburger egg rolls
Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze eggrolls, individually wrap in foil and then store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
To reheat, simply follow the baking or air fryer instructions. If frozen, you will need to add a few minutes extra to cook time.

Notes
Tips:
- Be sure to allow meat mixture to cool a bit before assembly to avoid the wrapper getting soggy from steam.

foodyschmoody says
I was skeptical of how the egg roll wrappers would do in the oven, but they turned out perfectly!
Rachael Monaco says
What a great twist on an eggroll and a turkey burger! Saving this one!
Jenne Kopalek says
Are the egg rolls crispy? I am always scared of baking things I think should be fried.
foodyschmoody says
Jenne, I was very nervous about baking them, but I was hell bent on it. I brushed w/ olive oil which crisped them right up. I swear, no one was more surprised than me when they came out crispy! Just make sure you don't put them directly on the baking sheet, make sure they're on a rack. Putting them directly on a baking sheet is a sure way to get a soggy bottom...That sounded yucky but the only way to say it 🙂
Christine says
