There are many egg roll in a bowl recipes on the internet, but this one…this one is mine + my personal favorite. It is packed with protein from ground turkey, oodles of veggies from bagged coleslaw mix, grated carrots, riced cauliflower, shelled edamame + full of amazing Asian-inspired flavors. This Turkey Egg Roll In A Bowl is one of my go-to quick dinners for when I need an easy win with the family + I adore that I can whip it up in under 30 minutes (start to finish!) thanks to frozen + bagged veggies.

A dinner bowl filled with a serving of eggroll in a bowl. The dinner bowl is sitting on a counter and has a fork sitting in it. Bowl is surrounded by a napkin, another bowl filled with eggroll in a bowl, bowl of chopped chives and a bowl of sesame seeds.

Guys, I wasn’t going to put this recipe up on the blog (I mean….egg roll in a bowl recipes are not exactly new or unique), but after sharing it a few times on my Instagram stories as one of my easy dinners, well, all of you kinda told me that you needed MY version of this delightfully simple stir fry.

So, what makes my recipe different from the bazillion others floating around on the internet? Well, I’ve taken an already veggie-loaded recipe and bumped up the vegetables even more by adding in frozen edamame, frozen riced cauliflower, and extra carrots to the traditional bagged (and oh-so convenient) coleslaw mix used in most egg roll in a bowl recipes. And I also make it with ground turkey because it is a meat I always have on hand, making it extra easy to throw together on the fly (though it is also delicious with the traditional ground pork if that is your jam)!

Extra veggies ✅ protein packed ✅ The last little bit that makes this Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl “mine” is the blend of Asian-inspired flavors that I opted to use. All very inline with the traditional vibe of egg roll flavors, but just my preferred amounts to make this easy, 30-minute dinner a powerhouse of flavor.

This recipe is wildly delicious all on its own, but we love it over cooked rice or quinoa. It also happened to be dairy-free for those of you who need that. And if gluten-free is what you’re looking for? Just swap in coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce. Works like a dream!

Recipe testing notes from Taesha

Up the heat by sprinkling the finished stir fry with red pepper flakes or by mixing up a quick, spicy mayo (mayo + sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to taste) to drizzle over the top.
Use ground pork if you prefer. I used ground turkey because it is a meat I always have on hand and makes it easy to throw this egg roll in a bowl stir fry together last minute!
Serve it with cooked brown rice, cooked white rice, or cooked quinoa.
For a low-carb option, enjoy it on its own.
To make gluten free, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

How to store + reheat
