Do you enjoy egg rolls? Do you only have egg rolls if you’re visiting your favorite Chinese restaurant? Well, that would be me! My family loves egg rolls but the only time we enjoy them is if we’re ordering take-out or eating-out.
This One-Pan Egg Roll Bowls offer all the great flavors of classic egg rolls only this recipe is faster and easier to make.
You could also say this version is healthier as we are not using the traditional egg roll, deep fried wrapper that holds all the filling. Delicious, btw, but this recipe is too!
You will appreciate the simplicity of dumping all the ingredients in one-single pan and dinner is basically done in 25-minutes. It’s crazy easy and fast!
This is also a fantastic recipe to make if you need to clean out the veggie drawer or use up ground meat. And if you like to meal prep like me, egg roll bowls are great for that too!
It’s a meal that meets all the check marks for a busy mom that doesn’t have time for fussing in the kitchen.
We love to make bowls around here. My Potsticker Noodle Bowls have been super popular and also easy to whip up.
Simple Ingredients:
- Olive oil- Oil is needed to help cook the ground turkey and sauté the veggies.
- Ground turkey- I use lean ground turkey for a healthier option.
- Aromatics- Onions, garlic, and ginger. This is the foundation for seasoning the turkey and veggies.
- Veggies- Carrots and coleslaw mix. The coleslaw mix is a great way to add a ton of veggies without chopping a whole bunch.
- Rice- We use just a touch of brown rice to add more body to the dish but also offer additional nutrients.
- Sauce- Low-sodium soy sauce, water, siracha, toasted sesame oil, and honey.
- Garnishes- Green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds.
Substitutions or Add-Ins:
- Meat- Substitute the ground turkey for lean ground beef, chicken, or ground pork.
- Veggies– Other veggies I recommend but certainly not limited to- broccoli or cauliflower florets, zucchini, celery, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Eggs- Add 1 or 2 eggs at the end and scramble them in for additional texture and protein.
- Rice- Feel free to use your favorite rice like classic long-grain white rice, basmati rice, jasmine rice, or even quinoa or couscous would work great. Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb, keto friendly meal.
- Gluten-free option- Make this completely gluten-free by swapping the soy sauce for coconut aminos.
How To Make One-Pan Egg Roll Bowls:
See full instructions in recipe card below
Step One. Combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet to medium high heat. Cook ground turkey breaking into crumbles. Sauté onions with the ground turkey, then add garlic and ginger.
Step Two. Add carrots to the cooked ground turkey and sauté a few minutes until softened. Do the same with the coleslaw mix, then add cooked rice and prepared sauce. Cook a few more minutes to heat everything through. Serve and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
Tips:
- đź’ˇHave all ingredients prepared and ready before you start. Make sure to prep all your ingredients like sauce and veggies before you start cooking. All the items cook quickly so it’s important to have them ready to go.
- đź’ˇUse the egg roll filling to make lettuce wraps. We love lettuce wraps and this filling would be the perfect foundation for a tender, crunchy lettuce leaf. Set out extra soy sauce and siracha to drizzle in each wrap.
Common Questions:
Yes! Simply omit the rice and use a low-sugar honey in the sauce mixture for a lower-carb, keto friendly meal.
I would not recommend freezing these ingredients as the cabbage does not thaw well.
This recipe will stay fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
