This Eggroll in a Bowl has been my savior this past week since I’ve literally eaten it every single day for breakfast. It’s like indulging in all the delicious eggroll filling without the wrapper! You can substitute ground beef or pork for the turkey and if you like it spicy, stir in a dollop of Chili Garlic Paste. I’m also a big fan of healthy convenience foods to save time in the kitchen so buy packaged coleslaw (or any shredded veggies you like) instead of shredding cabbage and carrots individually.
This is an extremely versatile recipe and you can eat it not just for breakfast, but for lunch or dinner as well. Wrap it in lettuce leaves to make a low-carb eggroll or enjoy it straight out of a bowl, just the way I like it.

I am SO excited to try this. Putting the ingredients on my grocery list for next week!
Hey lady, how’s it going 🙂 You will love this!
Can I used ground ginger?
Yes you can, just make sure you adjust according to taste.
Just made this winner! Used ground pork cuz I had it and drained extra fat! Definitely will be making again! Fast and easy! Thank you for sharing!
Oh yes ground pork is amazing with this recipe! Gives you that true eggroll taste 🙂
I made this with ground chicken and used sriracha for the hot sauce and I am obsessed. The fresh ginger really makes it. And I’m with you…I could also eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So good!!!
Can i chop up a siling labuyo and add it to the coconut aminos instead of using chili paste?
Yes that works! Just make sure you dont use too much because that is spicier!
I substituted ground bison and then added 2 siling labuyo that i blended with the fish sauce. Absolutely tasty, i will wrap in lightly steamed collard leaves this evening and let you know how that goes.
Wow sounds so yummy!!! Can you send me a photo if you are on IG or Snap? 🙂
Do you drain the liquid between making the turkey and cooking the veggies?
No draining needed!
Hi! This looks fantastic but I’ve had some allergic type reactions to a few dishes with the only common denominator being fish sauce. Is there something I can substitute for that?
You can just omit the fish sauce and use sea salt.
How much is considered a serving?
The entire recipe serves 8, so once it’s cooked, divide it by 8 to get 1 serving. This is the best way to do it because the cooked weight will vary depending on the type of veggies used and the liquid content of the meat.
Hi Jenny — This looks so good on Snapchat I finally decided I need to make it. I also saw a pic posted on Emily Schromm’s Superhero page and it looked great!! When you’re counting macros do you portion the meat and veggies separately and then mix in your container?
Yes I cook the meat first, store it in a separate container then cook the veggies next. Makes it easier to weigh the meat to accurately count macros 🙂
Thank you!! You’re the best, and a staple for me. I’ve created many of your recipes in MyFitnessPal.
This was so yummy and so easy to make. I think I’ll try it with pork next time. Thanks for a great recipe!
Yes its best with pork if you prefer that 🙂
can you freeze this recipe?
No, the veggies will become soggy.
Made it for probably the 3rd time tonight! I use Napa cabbage since that’s what I had on hand. It was great! It really made me want a real egg roll the first time I made it. Now it has become it’s own yummy dish and I don’t miss the egg roll wrappers! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Yay i’m glad to hear you love it Tammy!
Hello…. what can you substitute for the coconut aminos??
You can use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari!
Love this recipe! I make this almost every week when I meal prep 😊
This one is my absolute fave ERB!
