How to make this egg roll in a bowl recipe

You can expect this recipe to take about 35 minutes to prep. In total, it makes 6 large servings!

Begin by prepping all of your ingredients. Then, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.

Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.

Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until mostly cooked, and add the minced garlic. Stir.

Next, add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the turkey mixture. Stir and let cook for a few minutes.

While it cooks, prepare the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, honey, and sriracha. Pour the sauce over the turkey mixture. Let it cook for 7-9 minutes or until the cabbage has cooked down and the sauce has thickened.

Once the cabbage and carrots are cooked, top with the sesame seeds, green onion, and any additional toppings. Enjoy!
