Ditch the deep-fryer in favor of this fast and fresh recipe for Healthy Egg Roll In a Bowl starring your choice of protein.
Takeout-inspired recipes are popular around these parts, whether it’s DIY dumplings in spicy sauce, homemade spins on pan-fried potstickers or the current front-runner in the ratings department (1,000+ 5-star reviews and counting!), Easy Beef and Broccoli.
Egg rolls are also a popular option, with six variations ranging from savory to sweet and baked to deep-fried.
If you’re ready to tackle the takeout favorite while ditching the deep-fryer and the wrapper entirely, then this Healthy Egg Roll In a Bowl is your new go-to weeknight meal.
It is, quite literally, an entire veggie- and protein-packed meal in a bowl with endless ingredient customizations.
Follow the recipe below for flavor-packed cabbage, carrots, and ground chicken sautéed with plenty of fresh garlic and ginger, or swap in your go-to veggies and protein of choice to suit your palate.
I love serving this Healthy Egg Roll In a Bowl with a fried egg on top for added protein, and also for that classic runny yolk that you can break and stir into your bowl. A drizzle of sweet chili sauce on top ensures you won’t be missing a single dip or dunk!

I would like to make this. Is there an option to use tempeh, tofu or shrimp for the protein? What low sodium marinade could I use?
Absolutely, Peggy! You can make this dish with any protein you’d like, as well as using low-sodium soy sauce.

This was a super yummy recipe. Easy to make and I had all ingredients on hand. My kids loved it. It’s a definitely a keeper. Having leftovers for lunch today.
Amazing! I’m so glad you and your kids enjoyed the recipe, Angelica!
Love it very much! didn’t have the sweet chili sauce, but was still excellent! with my own changes: To give the turkey more flavor, I jumped to #3 first and sauté together chopped carrots but add some celery and 1/2 onion and the garlic for 5 -7 minutes which I then put aside, then In same pan cook the turkey and drain water or grease if any, add the chopped cabbage , re-enter the veggies, add the rest of ingredients. Super recipe!
It is a great go-to recipe, so delicious.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, MJ!
So hit the spot when craving egg rolls but don’t want a ton of calories! I used ground pork and also added some yellow bellpepper, mushrooms and a little broccoli and served over brown rice. Delish!!
