Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make this recipe. The full recipe card and ingredient list can be found at the bottom of the page.

• ¼ cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce) 
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha 
• 1 pound ground turkey 
• 14 ounce bag coleslaw mix
• 2 cloves garlic

How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil and Sriracha (optional, for spice).

Step 2: Cook the Turkey

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Brown and crumble the turkey until cooked through, about 5 - 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Push the meat to the side of the pan.

Step 3: Add Coleslaw

Add coleslaw, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until the coleslaw starts to become tender. 

Step 4: Stir in Sauce

Stir in the sauce and cook 2 - 3 minutes more, until the coleslaw is wilted. 

Step 5: Add Green Onions

Remove from heat and stir in the green onions, reserving about 1 tablespoon of green onions for garnish.

Step 6: Add Toppings

Divide into bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and chopped cashews. 

Step 7: Serve

Serve warm or cold. Optionally, make a Sriracha mayo by stirring together 3 tablespoons mayo (or sour cream) and 1 teaspoon Sriracha. Drizzle over the bowls before serving.

Popular Substitutions

• Coconut aminos: this is similar in taste to soy sauce but is gluten free. You could use coconut aminos, soy sauce, or Tamari sauce (also gluten free) for this recipe.
• Turkey: turkey or pork are most popular in this recipe. You can also leave it out the meat to make this recipe vegan & vegetarian.
• Sriracha mayo: this is optional for topping. The recipe is tasty plain (it already has a sauce on it); but you can add Sriracha mayo for some added spice & creaminess.

Storage

Store any leftovers by letting them cool and then saving them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 - 4 days. Over time the flavors will become stronger but the vegetables will become more wilted.
