I googled this because I LOVE spring rolls. Not sure which website this was from but if you need to know can google again. I figured the calculations and used phyllo bread instead of spring roll wrappers so as a disclaimer this is going to be off BUT you can also use phyllo as several recipes I saw also used that. Anyway I figured there can't be too big a difference in calories.

Baked spring rolls

Ingredients
20 large spring roll wrappers
6 cups finely shredded cabbage
2 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 lb lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons peeled minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil, for brushing
Directions
1Prepare the cabbage and carrots and set them aside.
2Fry the meat until just done with the ginger, salt and sesame oil.
3Lift from the pan and put in a large bowl.
4Drain off any excess fat (but don't wash the pan) and saute the shredded cabbage and carrots with a couple tablespoons of water, until just limp and the water is gone.
5Mix with the meat.
6Brush each spring roll wrapper with oil, turn over, and put a little- one twentieth to be precise- of the filling in a tube shape diagonally across one quadrant of the wrapper.
7Fold in the side corners, then roll up to make a neat tube.
8Repeat 19 more times.
9Lay the finished spring rolls on a lightly oiled cookie tray.
10Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.

also please note the fiber and sugar was not enough that when I figure recepies I do not add them unless above 2gs. also I am sure you could use any kind of meat or tofu etc.

Thanks
