Servings: 4
Ingredients:
16 oz lean ground turkey
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup carrots, shredded or diced
1 bag cole slaw mix
2 tsp fried rice seasoning
4 tbsp soy sauce (divided: 2 tbsp for turkey, 2 tbsp for veggies)
2 cups jasmine rice (cooked separately)
4 tbsp @ghughessugarfree Yum Yum Sauce
Sesame seeds and green onion, for topping
Instructions:
Brown the Turkey:
Option A – Using a Sauté Function: If your crockpot has a sauté setting, heat 1 tsp sesame oil directly in the pot. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s no longer pink. Stir in 1 tsp fried rice seasoning and 2 tbsp soy sauce, and cook for an extra minute.
Option B – Using a Skillet: Alternatively, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp sesame oil, and brown the ground turkey until fully cooked. Sprinkle with 1 tsp fried rice seasoning and 2 tbsp soy sauce, cook for another minute, then transfer the turkey to your crockpot.
Layer Vegetables on Top:
Add the shredded carrots and cole slaw mix on top of the cooked turkey in the crockpot. Do not mix with the turkey yet.
Pour in 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar and 2/3 cup chicken broth over the vegetables.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce over the veggies, and sprinkle with ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Slow Cook:
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 2–3 hours or on high for 1–2 hours. This will allow the vegetables to steam on top of the turkey and not become soggy.
Assemble Your Egg Roll Bowls:
While the filling is cooking, prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instructions.
Once the veggies are tender, stir them into the turkey to combine the flavors.
In your meal prep bowls (or regular bowls if you're serving right away), start with a base of about 1/2 cup cooked jasmine rice per serving (or adjust to your liking).
Spoon an equal portion of the turkey and veggie “egg roll” filling over the rice.
Drizzle each bowl with 1 tbsp of @ghughessugarfree Yum Yum Sauce and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onion.
Enjoy or Store:
Your crockpot egg roll bowls are now ready to be enjoyed! They keep great in the fridge, so simply reheat in the microwave when you're ready for a delicious, ready-to-eat meal.
