High-Protein Turkey Egg Roll Bowl
Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 500g lean ground turkey (5% fat)
- 500g coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 150g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha, or to taste
- 200g cooked brown rice, to serve
- 3 spring onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Have the cooked brown rice ready — use leftovers, pouches, or cook a fresh batch ahead.
Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the turkey 6 to 7 minutes, breaking it up, until cooked through.
Add the onion and mushrooms and cook 3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic, ginger and sriracha and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the coleslaw mix and toss 3 to 4 minutes until the cabbage wilts but keeps a pleasant crunch.
Stir in the soy sauce and rice vinegar, toss everything together and taste — add more sriracha or soy to balance.
Serve over warm brown rice, topped with spring onions and sesame seeds.
This high-protein turkey egg roll bowl takes everything you love about a crispy egg roll — the savory filling, the sesame-soy punch — and skips the deep fryer entirely. Lean ground turkey browns up in one pan with mushrooms and onion, then a mountain of shredded cabbage and carrots wilts down into the savory mix with garlic, ginger and a kick of sriracha. A splash of soy sauce and rice vinegar at the end gives it that unmistakable egg-roll-shop flavor, and toasted sesame oil makes the whole pan smell incredible. It is served over a modest scoop of brown rice so you still get that satisfying, complete-meal feeling. Start to finish in twenty-five minutes, one pan, no special equipment — this is the definition of a weeknight hero. Each serving delivers 44 grams of protein for 450 calories, alongside 30 grams of carbs, 15 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. It is naturally dairy-free and a meal-prep champion: it reheats beautifully and the cabbage stays pleasantly crisp. Double the batch and thank yourself on Thursday. Swap the turkey for ground chicken or pork, or go meatless with crumbled tofu.
