Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 green onions, chopped (separate whites from greens)
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 16 oz cole slaw mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- ¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 1–2 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the oil and sauté onions. In a large, flat-bottomed sauté pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped whites of the green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Cook the ground turkey. Add the ground turkey to the pan, breaking it into small chunks. Cook until browned and no longer pink in the center. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger to release their flavors.
- Add vegetables and soy sauce. Incorporate the cole slaw mix, shredded carrots, and the ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently to allow the vegetables to become tender but still crisp.
- Season and finish the dish. Reduce heat to low. Add sriracha, sweet chili sauce, toasted sesame oil, chopped green onion greens, and chopped cilantro to the pan. Toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more soy sauce if you prefer a moister dish.
- Serve. Dish out the egg roll bowl into bowls. Top with additional chopped cilantro and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy hot as a flavorful and healthy meal.
