How To Make Egg Roll in a Bowl with Ground Turkey
- Prep the ingredients. Dice the onion. Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler. Slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts, and chop the cilantro leaves, discarding the stems.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Add the diced onion, grated ginger, crushed garlic, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and translucent.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Break it up into small pieces with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded carrots, coleslaw mix, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the cabbage softens and reduces in size. If you like heat, add a drizzle of sriracha and stir to combine.
- Remove from the heat and top with the green parts of the green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
Expert Tips
- Don’t Overcook the Veggies: Cook the cabbage and carrots until tender, yet still crisp to keep them from getting mushy.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ginger and garlic make a big difference in flavor. Frozen works in a pinch.
- Adjust the Heat: Add sriracha gradually, or skip it entirely, to suit your taste.
- Use a Bag of Coleslaw Mix: It keeps this recipe super quick and easy, so you don’t have to shred the cabbage.
Serving Suggestions
This recipe is great on its own for a quick, healthy dinner. You can also serve it with cauliflower rice or over a bed of steamed rice. A side of roasted vegetables, like air fryer frozen broccoli or crispy air fryer green beans pairs perfectly. For extra flavor, drizzle with a little sesame oil or extra sriracha before serving.
