Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 16 oz cole slaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 green onions, chopped (separating whites from greens)
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
Oils and Sauces
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce plus 1 Tbsp more
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 1-2 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Seasonings
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro (â…“ cup plus extra for serving), sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat the oil and sauté onions: In a large flat-bottomed sauté pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped white parts of the green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Cook the ground turkey: Add the ground turkey to the pan, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks. Brown the turkey completely until no longer pink in the center. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger to heat through and release their flavors.
- Add vegetables and soy sauce: Toss in the cole slaw mix, shredded carrots, and the low-sodium soy sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage and carrots soften but still retain some crunch.
- Season and finish: Lower the heat to low. Stir in sriracha, sweet chili sauce, toasted sesame oil, green parts of the chopped green onions, and chopped cilantro. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper. Adjust soy sauce if you prefer more moisture or flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the egg roll bowl mixture to serving dishes. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
