This Easy Lean & Green Egg Roll in a Bowl with Turkey delivers all the savory flavors of classic takeout egg rolls without the wrapper. Made in one skillet, this low-carb, protein-packed meal is ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

6 green onions, chopped (greens and whites separated)

1 lb ground turkey

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)

16 oz shredded cabbage coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

Juice of 1 lime

1 tsp Chinese five spice blend

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, Chinese five spice blend, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté the white parts of the green onions for 1–2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
  3. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw and pour in the prepared sauce. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but slightly crisp.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of the onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce.

Swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean ground beef if desired.

Add shredded carrots, snap peas, or bell peppers for extra texture and color.

Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
