Make this Easy Egg Roll in a Bowl without the hassle of making and frying egg rolls! Juicy ground turkey and sauce with crunchy vegetables makes this easy 30 minute meal a hit with even the picky eaters.
We love our egg rolls around here, and no take-out order is complete without them. But if you’re craving a traditional egg roll and don’t want to order or make them yourself, make a bowl version! This is the best egg roll in a bowl recipe because it’s easy – total time is under 30 minutes with minimal prep time – and has the best hoisin sauce marinade and crunchy veggies. It’s copycat takeout made better – like baked orange chicken or homemade Korean beef!
An egg roll in a bowl is a deconstructed egg roll. Instead of wrapping the filling in a wrapper and frying it, all of the filling ingredients are mixed and served up bowl-style. It’s served warm and tastes just like the real thing minus all the work!
Ingredient Notes
- Ground turkey: You can also use lean ground beef, ground pork, or ground chicken.
- Coleslaw mix: This adds the crunch, along with grated carrots and green onions for serving. You could shred your own cabbage but why bother when slaw mix exists?
- Make your own easy egg roll sauce with ingredients like Hoisin sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, minced ginger and garlic (or ground ginger and garlic powder), and rice vinegar.

How to Make Egg Roll in a Bowl Tips
- Be sure to drain the fat from the cooked ground meat
- Cook the fillings for just a few minutes – you want them cooked but not soggy
- Garnish the filling with green onions and serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or lettuce to make a salad.
Variations
- Instead of coleslaw you can use broccoli slaw or a bag of Asian salad mix.
- If you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, you can substitute garlic powder. You can also use ginger paste or ginger powder in place of freshly grated.
- You can also switch the ground turkey for ground pork, sausage, or beef. Just keep in mind the turkey is leaner if you are trying to eat lighter.
- If you want a kick of spice, add some red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or sriracha when you cook the ingredients.
- Top with sesame seeds, scallions, fresh cilantro and/or crispy wonton strips.

Recipe Notes
- You may want to adjust the amount of coleslaw mix you use. 12 ounces worked out for us, but you may prefer a little less or a little more.
- You can substitute 1 teaspoon of garlic powder if you don’t have fresh, but we think the fresh is better.
- You can substitute turkey for another protein like ground beef or ground sausage – Spice it up by adding in some red pepper flakes. Just be careful not to over spice the dish.
