There's not a significant difference in texture (if you get them crispy enough) or taste. Baking egg rolls in comparison to frying, as you said, will reduce the fat you take in d/t frying. I always bake them, and they come out great. If you get some to bake, and find them too be too soft to your liking, throw them back in the oven on broil for a minute or two - that will crisp them right up. Just be careful not to burn them. Good luck!
Yield: 14 servings (serving size: 1 roll and about 1 tablespoon sauce)

CL Comments: These low fat egg rolls contain, perhaps unexpectedly, ground turkey as well as the cabbage, celery, and carrots that you would usually expect to find in egg rolls.
Amy's Comments: These were pretty tasty for baked egg rolls. Don't expect them to taste like the ones from the Chinese restaurant! They are crispy!! They are a bit time intensive but not too difficult to make (Skill-wise). They don't need to cook the entire time in the oven so watch them. The sauce was a bit oily for my taste so I would half the sesame oil.

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)


INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425°.
To prepare egg rolls, combine celery and carrot in a food processor; 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 chopped 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 one 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 wrapper over filling. Fold in trimmed corners. Moisten top corner of wrapper with egg white; roll up jellyroll fashion. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, turkey mixture, 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.

I bake frozen egg rolls all the time and find them to be delicious. They are a little less crisp but I like them that way sometimes. For a crispier shell place under broiler for 1-2 mins.
oh yes, I just gave them a spray with cooking spray and they were delish!
