Ingredients overview:
- ground turkey - I recommend a percentage around 93%. I don't recommend using 99% lean. The meat will be dry.

- garlic - A little fresh garlic makes everything better!
- scallions - For in the bowl and for garnish!
- mushrooms - You can use your favorite variety of mushrooms.
- coleslaw mix - If you can't find the mix, use a combination of shredded green and red cabbage with carrots.

- low-sodium soy sauce - You can also use tamari or coconut aminos.
How to make Egg Roll in a Bowl?
A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.
- Cook the ground turkey in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil on medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spatula for about 6 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink.
- Be sure to season the meat with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Remove the cooked turkey from the pan and set it to the side in a bowl.
- Brown garlic in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for about 1 minute on medium heat.
- Add in scallions, mushrooms, coleslaw mix, ginger powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat.
- Add cooked ground turkey back into the pan with ½ tablespoon more of sesame oil and the soy sauce.
- Combine and cook for about 2 minutes.
Serve it as is or over rice. I added some fresh scallion, sesame seeds and Sriracha over the top.
Recipe pro-tips:
- Don't use 99% lean ground turkey. It will be dry.
- Don't add too much salt. I add a pinch when cooking the meat and when cooking the vegetables. Soy sauce is already salty.

Love this recipe! It’s so simple and quick to make, I had it for lunch today and it was so tasty! I didn’t have turkey so I scrambled an egg for protein instead and served it over some Rightrice. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks for this easy meal idea Krista! ☺️
Oooo I will have to try serving with RightRice! Great idea. 🙂 – Krista <3

Will have to try with tofu! 🙂 - Krista <3

This was so easy and so delicious! Definitely reminded me of an egg roll. I didn’t have coleslaw but I had shredded carrots and a head of cabbage so I just used that which was perfect! I was going to read the comments before I made this but then saw that you made the recipe and knew it was going to be good because I already follow you on Instagram! Thanks again xo
Aw, that is so sweet!!! Thank you, Kim! So glad you enjoyed and I appreciate your support very much. 🙂

Made this tonight, but didn't like the sesame oil in it, neither did my daughter. All the other ingredients were good together and it was very easy to make. I guess its just our tastes, but I will try it again omitting the sesame oil.
Everyone is different!
