How to Make Egg Roll Stir-Fry
- Prep Your Ingredients
No chopping needed for this egg roll stir-fry recipe, thanks to the convenience of a pre-packaged coleslaw mix. That’s what makes this meal a quick go-to! - Cook the Ground Turkey
Lightly spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and set it to medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, and season lightly with seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
As it cooks, break the turkey into crumbles, stirring frequently until fully browned and set aside. - Steam and Sauté the Coleslaw Mix
Lightly spray another skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup of water and the coleslaw mix. Lightly season with seasoned salt and black pepper. Let it steam for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently to keep the cabbage mix from overcooking. - Add the Teriyaki Sauce
Once the coleslaw softens slightly but remains crunchy, add the cooked turkey and pour in the low-sodium teriyaki sauce. Mix everything together until the sauce evenly coats the meat and veggies, creating that signature savory flavor. - Garnish and Serve
For extra flair, sprinkle a little everything bagel seasoning. This step is optional, but it adds a fun crunch and extra flavor that makes the dish feel indulgent.
