Why This Recipe Is My Go-To Weeknight Dinner
- Experience: I’m an egg-roll superfan who’s tested every shortcut and variation, from air-fryer egg rolls to this faster, lighter bowl version.
- Speed: This is my real go-to on rushed nights. A 15-minute dinner that feeds the whole family without wrapping or frying anything.
- Flexibility: I built this recipe to be customizable. Swap veggies, proteins, or seasonings, and it still delivers the classic egg-roll flavor you’re craving.
Egg Roll In A Bowl Ingredients
- Ground Meat: Use ground chicken, ground pork, or ground beef as an alternative to the ground turkey!
- Coleslaw Mix: A premade mix makes it easy, but you can use shredded cabbage and matchstick carrots if you prefer.
- Veggies: Finely diced mushrooms keep the turkey juicy and boost flavor, and you can add even more color and nutrition with bell peppers, snow peas, or bok choy. Use whatever you love.
- Protein Swaps: Use ground turkey, chicken, or pork; all work well. For a vegan version, skip the meat and add more veggies.
- Want a little heat? Add some sriracha or red pepper flakes.
