Description

Egg Roll in a Bowl is a fast, one-skillet dinner with ground turkey, cabbage, carrots, and a savory sesame-soy finish—big takeout flavor, easy cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93/7)

  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced

  • 1 cup shredded carrots (or matchstick carrots)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tbsp minced garlic)

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tbsp ginger paste)

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 8 cups thinly shredded green cabbage (about 1 medium head)

  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil (add at the end—don’t skip!)

Optional toppings: sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, sriracha mayo, cooked white rice or cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook 5–6 minutes, breaking it up, until almost cooked through.

  2. Push turkey to one side. Add onion and the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add carrots, garlic, and ginger. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. Add cabbage, tamari/soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 12–15 minutes (until cabbage is as tender as you like).

  6. Remove from heat and stir in toasted sesame oil.

  7. Serve warm (over rice or cauliflower rice if desired) and add toppings.

Notes

Shortcut: Swap cabbage + carrots for 1 (14–16 oz) bag coleslaw mix.

Protein swaps: ground beef, chicken, or lean beef work great.

Keto tip: Serve over cauliflower rice and use tamari or coconut aminos if needed.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container 3–4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth.
