Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil.

Step 2

Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the turkey and stir to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add the coleslaw mix, red cabbage, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until veggies are just tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Toss to combine and cook for another minute.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Divide the mixture among four bowls. Top each with crispy wonton strips, green onions, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best texture, keep the heat high so the vegetables sear rather than steam. You can also add water chestnuts or snap peas for an extra layer of crunch. Check the ranch seasoning labels carefully as they may contain milk or other allergens.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and omit the wonton strips or replace them with gluten-free alternatives. If you prefer a different protein, you can easily substitute ground chicken or tofu for the turkey.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these bowls immediately while the wonton strips are at their crunchiest. For a complete dining experience, pair this dish with a crisp lager or a light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.

Recipe Guide

→ What makes these bowls different from traditional egg rolls?

These bowls deconstruct the classic egg roll into a quicker, lighter format. Instead of wrapping filling in dough and frying, you sauté seasoned turkey with vegetables directly in a skillet. The wonton strips on top provide the familiar crunch without deep frying, and the entire dish comes together in half the time.

→ Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, simply check your ranch seasoning packet carefully, as many contain dairy. Look for dairy-free ranch seasoning options or make your own blend with onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, and parsley. The remaining ingredients—including the turkey, vegetables, and sauces—are naturally dairy-free.

→ What protein alternatives work well in this dish?

Ground chicken creates a similar texture and flavor profile. For a vegetarian option, use crumbled firm tofu or tempeh, cooking until slightly browned before adding vegetables. You can also use ground pork or beef, though they'll be higher in fat than the lean turkey called for in the original.

→ How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store the turkey and vegetable mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Keep wonton strips separate to maintain their crunch. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet over medium heat, adding fresh wonton strips and green onions just before serving. The flavors often improve overnight as ingredients meld together.

→ Can I prepare components in advance?

Absolutely. Shred vegetables and store them in the refrigerator up to 2 days ahead. Mix your sauce ingredients in a small jar and refrigerate. When ready to serve, cook the turkey and proceed with the recipe. The entire dish cooks quickly, so even last-minute preparation takes under 30 minutes.

→ What other toppings can I add?

Sliced water chestnuts or snap peas provide extra crunch. Try roasted cashews or peanuts for protein variation. Shredded carrots or fresh bean sprouts add more vegetable variety. A drizzle of extra sriracha or sweet chili sauce works well for those who enjoy heat. For creaminess, a small dollop of plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free sour cream complements the ranch flavors.
