Recipe Ingredients
Below is an overview of the ingredients and instructions to make this healthy egg roll in a bowl recipe. Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete ingredients and instructions!
- Ground Turkey Sausage – Feel free to substitute regular ground turkey, ground beef, ground, pork ground chicken, or even ground venison. Any ground meat will taste great!
- Veggies – To save time, we use bagged coleslaw mix with shredded cabbage and carrots. However, broccoli slaw will also work. Then, we add red pepper, green onions, and garlic for extra bulk and flavor.
- Soy Sauce – Adds a delicious salty, umami taste. We recommend low-sodium soy sauce! If you need to keep this recipe gluten-free, feel free to use coconut aminos or tamari instead!
- Ginger – We use ginger powder, but minced ginger or ginger paste is just fine, too.
How to Make the Best Egg Roll in a Bowl Recipe

2. Then, add the coleslaw mix, red pepper slices, the white parts of the green onion, and grated garlic. Sauté until the veggies soften and become fragrant.
3. Stir in the ginger powder and soy sauce, and sauté another few minutes to combine and warm through.
4. Top your egg roll in a bowl mixture with the green parts of the onion, and enjoy!

Common Questions
We often serve this dish as a complete meal on its own. However, it’s also great with cauliflower rice, white rice, or chow mein noodles. Or, enjoy it as a side with takeout-inspired meals such as teriyaki chicken with vegetables, beef and broccoli, or orange chicken.
No, most egg roll recipes don’t contain eggs. The “egg” refers to the egg wrappers used to hold the filling. However, you can definitely add eggs, if you want!

We love this recipe! We take out the ginger and add just a little bit of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. I can never seem to make enough to have for lunches the next day. ????
Thanks so much for a great recipe!
Woohoo! THANK YOU for taking the time to tell me and sharing how you made this yummy recipe your own. I love reading recipe reviews like this one.<----Insert happy dance! Blessings to you and your family, Tiffany. 🙂
Hello! I was wondering how many smart points each serving would be? (if its posted here I apologize for asking, but I don’t see it! thanks!)
Hi Mel, no worries! You didn’t miss it. I am not sure how many smart points per serving. Perhaps someone at WW could assist you as I am not familiar with calculating points. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Blessings to you on your healthy journey. 🙂
I used Jennie O turkey sausage, which is 2 points for 2 ozs. All other ingredients are 0 points. So it depends on many servings you make it into. If you make it 4 servings, then it would 4 points per serving.
Thank you for your help, Denise! Happy eating!
do you have what the container counts would be on this for the 21 day fix?
Hi Briana! I am sorry, but I do not know the container counts for this recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe anyhow! 🙂
I made this and I loved it! However that could be because I used spicy ground pork, which is probably not very healthy (there was a lot of grease). I can’t seem to find “spicy ground turkey sausage” in any grocery store. Would I be able to make my own? I can find plain ground turkey. What kind of spices are we talking about?
Hi Laura! I am so glad you loved this dish 🙂 If you can find plain ground turkey sausage add crushed red pepper flakes, onion & garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper, and maybe a little cayenne pepper powder for a little more heat. I have used the plain variety and added these spices and the recipe turned out just as delicious 🙂 I am just all about the easiest and healthiest route so I try to buy the “premade” spicy kind! 😉 Blessings to you! I hope this helps.
I am always looking for quick recipes and this one looks awesome but i only have ground beef on hand, do you think that will change the flavor profile too much?
Hi Janette! Ground beef will be just fine. I would add some dried red pepper flakes/cayenne pepper/chili pepper to your beef as it browns to give it a little more flavor. If your egg roll bowl is a lacking in flavor, add in a little more garlic and onion at the end! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
This was delicious! We didn’t even miss having the wrappers! Substituted ground turkey for the turkey sausage and added a few sesame seeds on top- yum! Thank you!!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe experience, Kristin. 🙂 It is good to know that ground turkey can be used as a substitution with much success. YUM! Blessings to you!

Sammi, this is a great idea – egg rolls without the rolls. And, no, I won’t miss the greasy fried wrapper!
I love egg rolls, but always thought they were too greasy. I think this bowl is a great alternative. I will have to give it a try.
They are greasy! But I will admit…delish! Ha! I really hope you enjoy this meal, Cynthia. 🙂
