There are many egg roll in a bowl recipes on the internet, but this one…this one is mine + my personal favorite. It is packed with protein from ground turkey, oodles of veggies from bagged coleslaw mix, grated carrots, riced cauliflower, shelled edamame + full of amazing Asian-inspired flavors. This Turkey Egg Roll In A Bowl is one of my go-to quick dinners for when I need an easy win with the family + I adore that I can whip it up in under 30 minutes (start to finish!) thanks to frozen + bagged veggies.
Guys, I wasn’t going to put this recipe up on the blog (I mean….egg roll in a bowl recipes are not exactly new or unique), but after sharing it a few times on my Instagram stories as one of my easy dinners, well, all of you kinda told me that you needed MY version of this delightfully simple stir fry.
So, what makes my recipe different from the bazillion others floating around on the internet? Well, I’ve taken an already veggie-loaded recipe and bumped up the vegetables even more by adding in frozen edamame, frozen riced cauliflower, and extra carrots to the traditional bagged (and oh-so convenient) coleslaw mix used in most egg roll in a bowl recipes. And I also make it with ground turkey because it is a meat I always have on hand, making it extra easy to throw together on the fly (though it is also delicious with the traditional ground pork if that is your jam)!
Extra veggies ✅ protein packed ✅ The last little bit that makes this Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl “mine” is the blend of Asian-inspired flavors that I opted to use. All very inline with the traditional vibe of egg roll flavors, but just my preferred amounts to make this easy, 30-minute dinner a powerhouse of flavor.
This recipe is wildly delicious all on its own, but we love it over cooked rice or quinoa. It also happened to be dairy-free for those of you who need that. And if gluten-free is what you’re looking for? Just swap in coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce. Works like a dream!

Recipe testing notes from Taesha
- Up the heat by sprinkling the finished stir fry with red pepper flakes or by mixing up a quick, spicy mayo (mayo + sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to taste) to drizzle over the top.
- Use ground pork if you prefer. I used ground turkey because it is a meat I always have on hand and makes it easy to throw this egg roll in a bowl stir fry together last minute!
- Serve it with cooked brown rice, cooked white rice, or cooked quinoa.
- For a low-carb option, enjoy it on its own.
- To make gluten free, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
How to store + reheat
While I love this recipe freshly made, the leftovers do make a delightfully hearty lunch. Once cooled, store the cooked egg roll stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place in a skillet with a lid over medium heat until warmed through or pop it into the microwave for 60-90 seconds.

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the turkey and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat as it cooks. Season with onion powder, salt + pepper. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger cook for an additional minute or until fragrant.
In a measuring cup, mix together rice vinegar, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Add the coleslaw mix, carrots, edamame, riced cauliflower to the skillet with the meat. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and meat.
Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.

I love your recipes and how adaptable they are. I saw this recipe and was craving it but I didn’t have a lot of the ingredients but I figured I could make it do. I didn’t have a coleslaw bag but I had bok choy and some bean sprouts that needed to be used. I also had chicken breast that needed to be used. It came together so well and was everything I hoped for. I can’t wait to make it again and try it with more of the “recommended” ingredients.Taesha Butler —Reply
I love that you made it with what you had on hand, Amanda! And even happier that you loved it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I deeply appreciate it!
Amy F —Reply
This was easy to make and delicious. My daughter said “it’s so yummy!”
I’ll definitely make again. Might even add bean sprouts next timeTaesha Butler —Reply
Love the idea of added bean sprouts! So glad you all enjoyed it as much as we do, Amy!
Lauren Maloney —Reply
This recipe was so easy and so yummy! I made it for dinner, guests, and everyone loved it. Almost no leftovers. I used just purple cabbage instead of a coleslaw mix and it worked great.
Danica —Reply
This recipe came together quickly and didn’t create a lot of dishes! It was really delicious and filled with veggies and protein. Definitely will be making it again!Taesha Butler —Reply
I’m so happy it was such a hit in your home too, Danica!
Misty —Reply
This recipe is so good!! I love how easy and flavorful it is. I made it with ground chicken, because it was what I had on hand, but also made a separate portion with tofu I crumbled up for a vegetarian portion for my daughter. Both versions were delicious!! We will definitely be having this again!Taesha Butler —Reply
Love that you loved this and were easily able to make it vegetarian for your daughter! Did you keep the seasonings to same or add anything to the tofu? I’m sure other readers will be interested and appreciate you sharing, Misty!
Misty —Reply
I kept the seasonings the same, they worked perfectly with the chicken and the tofu. I just used half a pound of chicken in one pan and half a brick of tofu (I had drained, pressed and crumbled) in a different pan. I then followed the recipe as written, just adding half of the ingredients to each pan. Both versions were equally delicious.
Laura M —Reply
This is SO good! Since you can buy almost all of the ingredients already chopped, it’s ready in no time. My kids even ate it, which is saying something. This will be added to the rotation for sure!Taesha Butler —Reply

So good and easily adjustable. I didn’t have coleslaw mix, but used a different cruciferous mix and it was perfect! My 3 year old and 9 month old couldn’t get enough!A great weeknight dinner!

Comes together easily and is very tasty. We ended up using a mix of ground beef and pork and it turned out really wellTaesha Butler —Reply
I bet that was an awesome flavor! So glad you loved it!
Nicole —Reply
Amazing flavor and a quick, healthy weeknight meal. Made it vegan for myself and used ground chicken for the rest of the family! Thank you for another great recipe!Taesha Butler —Reply
Love that you were able to make it work for the whole family AND you! May I ask what you used for the vegan option? Beyond beef? People often ask me for subs like that and it always nice to be able to suggest a tried-and-true adaptation!
