Tuna Spring Rolls
This is a perfect recipe for anyone who like sspring rolls but doesn’t enjoy the typical recipes made with chicken or pork.These are easy to make; just combine all the filling ingredients into one bowl and roll in the wrapper. I’ve tried a few different sauces for dipping these into, but a sweet chili sauce is by far my favorite.
Ingredients
Spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup Bisquick
- ¾ cup water
- cooking spray
Filling
- 2 cans tuna (drained)
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ cup green onions (chopped)
- ¼ cup carrots (chopped)
- ⅓ cup celery (chopped)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- beaten egg (for sealing the edges)
- cooking oil (for frying)
- sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Spring roll wrappers
- Mix three-quarters of a cup of water into one cup of Bisquick to form a batter. Cover and set aside for one hour.
- Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat.
- Turn the heat to low and add a heaping tablespoon of batter to the middle of the pan.
- Spread the batter out evenly by rotating the skillet, to form a circle six inches in diameter.
- Cook until browned on the bottom and flip over cooking briefly until the edges curl slightly. Take care not to overcook.
- Remove from the heat and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use as called for in the recipe.
Filling
- Drain the water or oil from the canned tuna. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Lay the spring roll wrapper on a clean surface and place two tablespoons of the filling on the edge closest to you. Leave a one-inch space at both ends. Fold the bottom of the edge, roll it up, then fold the sides towards the middle, tucking in both ends. Roll tightly with one inch of the wrapper remaining. Brush with the beaten egg to seal and finish rolling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet and drop in the tuna spring rolls. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce and enjoy.

Tuna Crescent Rolls
These crescent rolls are soft, buttery, sweet-tasting, and more reminiscent of a pastry than a bread-type recipe. My daughter enjoys making these with me. I cut the dough into their shape, and she spoons the filling in and rolls them up. These will store in the refrigerator for up to three to four days and make a great lunch or a perfect late-night snack.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 can of white tuna (drained)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1½ tsp dried minced onion
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Crescent Rolls
- 4 cups Bisquick
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup butter (cubed)
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 large egg yolks (room temperature)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
Instructions
Filling
- drain the tuna and combine all filling ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Store in the refrigerator until the dough is ready.
Crescent rolls
- Sift one and one-half cups of Bisquick, and two packages of dry active yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat one cup of milk, one-half cup of cubed butter, and one-quarter cup of honey. Continue to heat until the butter has melted. Add to the dry ingredients, and beat on medium speed for two minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add three large egg yolks and continue beating for an additional two minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining Bisquick to form a soft, but sticky dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly Bisquick floured surface, kneading until elastic-like. Place in a greased, covered bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Transfer the chilled dough onto a lightly Bisquick floured surface, dividing into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a twelve-inch circle. Cut each circle into twelve equal triangles. Lightly brush each piece with the melted butter.
- Spoon some of the filling onto the wide edge of the triangle and roll while pinching the ends to seal. Place each roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (approximately one hour).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for ten minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
