Okay, let’s be real. Some weeknights, the idea of cooking a complicated meal is just exhausting. That’s my favorite time to make this Egg Roll in a Bowl, and honestly, it feels like a cheat code for dinner. You get all that savory, delicious flavor you crave from an actual egg roll, but without any of the fuss of frying or wrapping. The best trick I ever learned for this? Just grab a bag of coleslaw mix from the store. Seriously, it cuts the prep time down to almost nothing and makes this a true life-saver when you’re busy.
Egg Roll in a Bowl Ingredients
You don’t need a ton of fancy stuff for this, which is another reason I love it. Here’s what you’ll need to grab:
- 1 lb ground turkey (ground chicken works great, too!)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or a low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 bag (about 14 oz) of coleslaw mix
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- Sesame seeds, for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Turkey
Get a large skillet going over medium-high heat. Add your ground turkey and just let it cook, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon as you go. Once it’s all browned and cooked through, carefully tilt the pan and spoon out any extra grease.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
Shove the cooked turkey over to one side of the skillet. On the empty side, drizzle in the sesame oil and toss in your minced garlic and grated ginger. Let that cook for maybe 30 seconds, just until you start to really smell it. That’s the good stuff! Just be sure to keep an eye on it so the garlic doesn’t burn. Then, mix it all together with the turkey.
Step 3: Build the Sauce and Wilt the Cabbage
Now, pour the chicken broth, coconut aminos, and rice vinegar right into the pan. Stir it all up to create a quick sauce. Dump the entire bag of coleslaw mix right on top. It’s going to look like a mountain, but I promise it cooks down. Just pop a lid on the skillet and let it steam for 5 to 7 minutes, giving it a stir every now and then, until the cabbage is as soft as you like it.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Take the skillet off the heat and give everything one final stir. All that’s left is to scoop it into bowls and top it with plenty of sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This is hands-down one of the best keto recipes for when you want something truly satisfying.
