Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by mincing garlic, grating fresh ginger, and chopping green onions for garnish.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to warm for 30 seconds.

- Pour the entire bag of coleslaw mix into the skillet with the ground turkey. Stir to combine and distribute the vegetables evenly.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the coleslaw is slightly wilted but still maintains a crisp texture.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add additional soy sauce or a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving dishes. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Egg Roll in a Bowl Ground Turkey directly from the skillet or plate.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your garlic, ginger, and green onions ahead of time. You can also prepare the coleslaw mix in advance to streamline your cooking process.
- Choose Lean Turkey: Opt for lean ground turkey to keep the dish healthy without sacrificing flavor. This will help reduce excess grease and calories.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots, to enhance the dish's flavor and nutritional value.
- Adjust the Soy Sauce: Depending on your taste preferences, you can adjust the amount of soy sauce. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead.
- Serve with Rice or Noodles: For a heartier meal, serve your Egg Roll in a Bowl over steamed rice or noodles. This adds a satisfying base that complements the dish perfectly.
- Leftovers: This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick lunch or dinner.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t skip the green onions—they add a fresh crunch! You can also sprinkle sesame seeds or a drizzle of sriracha for an extra kick.
