Ground Turkey Egg Roll Bowl

This is the best Egg Roll Bowl Recipe thanks to its innovative use of the best grocery store shortcut – broccoli slaw. This easy dinner is bursting with flavor, and fiber!

This Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe is bursting with flavor

One of the best, healthiest, most versatile ingredients at your grocery store is a bag of broccoli slaw. Don’t sleep on it or think of it only for cold salads.

This is a weekly grocery staple for my family. I will often simply saute it in a bit of oil and then finish it with soy sauce, for the easiest, fastest side dish to any protein I’m serving.

If you’re new to broccoli slaw, let’s start your relationship off with a big party with this Egg Roll Bowl! It uses both traditional coleslaw mix and broccoli slaw, but you can use all one or the other if you prefer.

Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl ingredients

• hoisin sauce – the sweet, richly flavored base of the sauce for this egg roll bowl recipe.
• rice vinegar – adds a tangy flavor to the sauce.
• fresh ginger – for a subtle hint of spice.
• sesame oil – infuses the dish with a nutty flavor.
• sriracha – adds a bold kick of flavor and heat to this recipe for egg roll in a bowl. Adjust the amount according to your personal preference.
• sugar – just a pinch will balance the acidity of the vinegar.
• salt and pepper – to enhance the flavors of everything else in the dish.
• ground mustard seed – contributes a subtle, tangy flavor that echos the hot mustard often served with egg rolls.
• vegetable oil – for cooking the turkey and vegetables.
• ground turkey – the main protein source of the dish.
• cremini (baby bella) mushrooms – add an earthy flavor that complements the ground turkey.
• garlic – adds depth of flavor.
• green onions – add freshness, color and mild onion flavor.
• broccoli slaw – this is a bag of shredded slaw mix that is typically made with broccoli stalks and carrots. The texture of this slaw, when cooked, really mimics the inside of an egg roll.
• coleslaw mix – we’ll also be using a bag of traditional coleslaw mix, made with cabbage and carrots.
• rice – this is optional, for serving, if you prefer to serve the egg roll bowl mixture over something.
• wonton strips – you can buy a bag of pre-made crunchy wonton strips (near the salad toppings), or you can make your own fried wonton strips (this is the best, if you have time).
• cashews – an optional crunchy garnish at the end. Peanuts work, too!

How to make Egg Roll in a Bowl with Ground Turkey

1. PREP. Whisk together the hoisin sauce, vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, sugar, black pepper, ground mustard and salt until well combined.

2. TURKEY AND MUSHROOMS. Grab the largest skillet you have and cook the turkey in oil until it’s almost cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Then, add the mushrooms and cook until those are softened.

3. VEGGIES. Stir in the garlic, white parts of the green onions, broccoli slaw, coleslaw mix, and chicken stock. Increase the heat and cook until the vegetables are wilted down and the turkey is cooked through.

4. SAUCE. Add the sauce mixture and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.

5. SERVE. Serve the turkey mixture over rice, if desired, sprinkled with green parts of green onions and wonton strips and cashews, if desired.

Egg Roll Bowl Recipe variations

• MEAT – You don’t have to make this egg roll in a bowl with ground turkey! Ground chicken, beef, or pork all work just great as well.
• VEGGIES – Feel free to add extra veggies, like bell peppers or snap peas.
• ADD AN EGG – Listen, you’re not going to get any pushback from me if you want to top this egg roll in a bowl recipe with a runny fried egg.

What to serve with this Ground Turkey Egg Roll Bowl recipe

You can eat this dish on its own, or serve it over steamed jasmine rice or brown rice. Quinoa or cauliflower rice are lower carb options that also do well here.

You shouldn’t need a vegetable side dish, since there are already so many included here.

My family likes to eat our egg roll bowls with a side of potstickers.

How to store an Egg Roll Bowl

Leftover turkey egg roll in a bowl mixture should be cooled to room temperature, then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can you freeze Egg Roll in a Bowl?

While you technically can freeze egg roll in a bowl, I don’t recommend it, as the texture of the vegetables becomes really mushy when thawed.
