Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 green onions, chopped (whites and greens separated)
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 16 oz coleslaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 1–2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt (more or less to taste)
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil: In a large sauté pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chopped white parts of the green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the pan. Break it into small chunks and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger to release their aroma.
- Add Vegetables: Fold in the 16 ounces of coleslaw mix and 1 cup shredded carrots. Toss everything together and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage and carrots soften.
- Combine Sauces and Greens: Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 teaspoons of sriracha, 1-2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Add the chopped green onion greens and ⅓ cup chopped cilantro. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and adjust soy sauce for desired moisture.
- Serve: Serve the Ground Turkey Egg Roll Bowls warm, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of sriracha to suit your taste.
- For a vegetarian option, replace ground turkey with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
- Meal prep friendly: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- To refresh flavors after freezing, add a splash of soy sauce upon reheating.
- Do not overcook the turkey to keep it moist; cook just until browned and no longer pink.
- Sauté garlic and ginger towards the end of cooking to avoid bitterness.
- Consider topping the bowls with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for added texture.
