Lightly seasoned ground turkey is the protein-packed base for this easy turkey egg roll in a bowl recipe! Lots of cabbage and carrots round it out, just like in classic egg roll filling. Soy sauce, garlic and ginger stay true to all of the classic Asian egg rolls flavors we love, all we’ve taken away is the fiddly rolling and frying. If you’re really going for broke and want to make this egg roll in a bowl keto, it’s fine to leave off the wonton strips.

Egg Roll Bowl Ingredients
Ground turkey. It’s so easy to keep ground turkey on hand in the freezer and we love to use it instead of ground beef as a leaner, healthier protein for weeknights.
Cabbage. Another go-to for our weeknight cooking, cabbage is such a workhorse! A cabbage will keep in the fridge for two months (!) so it’s such an easy, forgiving vegetable to have around. We grab one just about every time we shop.
Carrots. Another sturdy fridge staple, and a classic egg roll filling ingredient. Sweet and crunchy, don’t skip it!
Soy sauce. We like to use low-sodium soy sauce because it tastes about the same as the full-sodium stuff and it’s a little easier on our bodies.
Brown sugar. Just a hint of sugar to give it that slightly sweet-savory element that egg rolls have. If you’re being super strict about carbs, it’s fine to leave it out.
Toasted sesame oil. There’s really no sub for sesame oil in this egg roll recipe! It’s a rich, unique flavor that makes Asian food of all kinds taste the way it should.
Wonton strips. We’ve heard from some folks that these can be tricky to find. No worries! If you can’t find them, it’s OK to skip them.
Yellow onion. Sharp freshness!
Ginger. Fresh ginger is so delicious, and a chinese food staple!
Garlic. You know we basically never cook without fresh garlic.
How To Make An Egg Roll in a Bowl
Sauté ground turkey, onion, ginger and garlic in a skillet until the turkey is cooked through. Yes, this is a one-pan dinner! AKA, the best kind.
Add the vegetables! Cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, sugar and remaining sesame oil and cook for another few minutes until everything is softened and delicious!
You’re done! Time to garnish it and then gobble it! Egg roll in a bowl is a contender for literally the easiest dinner ever, right?
What to Serve With Turkey Egg Roll In A Bowl
As a simple, speedy, low-carb or keto dinner recipe, this egg roll in a bowl can stand all on its own. But you can dress it up, bulk it up, or spice it up by:
