Easy eggroll in a bowl Recipe

There’s nothing I love more than a one-pot meal that comes together quickly and easily.

And, this eggroll in a bowl definitely fits the bill. It has everything I need for a hearty and satisfying meal, loaded with protein from the ground turkey and chock full of vitamins and minerals from the veggies.

And, of course, a delicious sauce that brings it all together. I really can’t go wrong no matter how I serve it, and it has that great takeout taste of egg rolls without the takeout quotation.

Recipe Success Tips

It may be easier to chop, but finely mincing the mushrooms helps them blend into the turkey and adds moisture without a strong mushroom taste.

If you like heat, add chili crisp, sriracha, or extra red pepper flakes at the table. - Coleslaw mix makes it easy.

A bag of coleslaw makes this recipe super quick and easy. But if you have cabbage in the fridge, by all means, don’t let it go to waste. Ground chicken or pork work well in place of turkey with no other changes needed.

I find this eggroll in a bowl is quick and satisfying, and doesn’t really need anything extra, but when I’m looking to make it more filling and stretch the savings, I’ll serve it spooned over a bowl of brown or white rice. For a lighter, lower-carb option, I’ll serve it over cauliflower rice or in butter lettuce or romaine cups. For a complete, Asian-inspired meal, I’ll add egg drop soup and delicious garlic noodles.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until heated through. This dish reheats well and is great for meal prep. If serving later, you can add a splash of water or soy sauce while reheating to loosen it up if needed.

I do not recommend freezing this dish, as the cabbage softens and releases water once thawed.
