How This Egg Roll Bowl Comes Together

The key to this recipe is having everything chopped and ready to go. Prep takes the longest, and once cooking starts, everything moves fast.

1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil, ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Break the turkey apart and cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Push the turkey to one side of the pan. Add the white parts of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
3. Add the cabbage and carrots with another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until tender but still slightly crisp.
4. Stir in the red bell pepper and snow peas. Season lightly and cook for 1-2 minutes.
5. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until evenly coated.
6. Finish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Leftovers? Whenever I reheat this bowl for lunch the next day, I like to add a squeeze of fresh lime to wake up the flavors. This tip can prevent you from reaching for more soy sauce.

How can I add more flavor without adding carbs?

Season generously! Use plenty of ginger, garlic, and sriracha. The sesame oil adds incredible depth of flavor. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar for tanginess or red pepper flakes for extra heat, all without adding significant carbs.
