Ingredients
  

For the Bowl:
  • 10 oz coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 16 oz ground turkey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger root, grated
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • 3 green onions, green parts only, thinly sliced (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting Board and Knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Thinly slice the onion, shred the carrots if you’re not using pre-shredded ones, and mince the garlic and ginger. This will make the cooking process smoother.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with your spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the turkey is browned, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Next, add the sliced onions and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions have softened.
  5. Stir in the coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage has wilted but still retains some crunch.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. Pour this mixture over the turkey and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  7. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Egg Roll in a Bowl garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Enjoy it hot!
