Quick and Easy Egg Roll Skillet Meal {30-Minute Meal}
Description
Ground turkey is sautéed with diced onions, garlic, and fresh or paste ginger until cooked through, then the mixture is pushed aside in the pan to scramble lightly salted eggs. Once eggs set slightly, they're combined with the meat and coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) which cooks just until slightly wilted. Sesame oil, soy sauce, and oyster sauce are stirred in to bring the signature umami and richness associated with egg rolls.
The dish combines cooked ground meat with tender, slightly crisp vegetables and soft scrambled eggs, highlighting fresh ginger and garlic flavors. The sauces deliver depth and a mildly salty, savory profile enhanced by toasted sesame oil.
It's served garnished with fresh cilantro and optionally crispy chow mein noodles or fried wontons alongside, with chili or sweet sauces on the side for dipping or drizzling. Hot cooked rice can be added as a base if desired.
Notes clarify that ginger paste is a convenient substitute for fresh ginger and provide tips for adding extra vegetables or substituting oyster sauce with hoisin or BBQ sauce for flavor variation.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced (about 1 cup, or white onion, medium
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger I usually use ginger paste - (see note, finely chopped or grated
- 1 ½ to 2 to 2 pounds ground turkey or chicken, lean
- 4 egg lightly whisked, large
- 1 (14-ounce) (14-ounce) package coleslaw mix or about 5 cups shredded cabbage/carrots
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce see note
- cilantro for serving, chopped, fresh
- Chow Mein noodles for serving, crispy
- fried wontons for serving, crispy
- sweet and sour sauce for serving, or sweet Thai chili sauce
- hot cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet heat the oil over medium heat until hot and rippling. Add the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute or so, stirring constantly.
- Add the ground meat and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until the meat is no longer pink and it is cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Over medium heat, scoot the meat to the edges of the pan and pour the whisked eggs into the center of the pan. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt. Let the eggs cook until starting to set on the bottom; stir until scrambled. Mix the eggs and meat together. Add the coleslaw mix and cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes until the cabbage cooks and wilts slightly (cook longer for softer cabbage).
- Stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper (or soy sauce) to taste, if needed. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. Serve the egg roll skillet over hot, cooked rice (optional) and drizzle with sweet and sour sauce or sweet Thai chili sauce. Add chow mein noodles or fried wontons for crunch.
Notes
- Ginger paste can be used in place of fresh ginger in equal amounts; fresh ginger can be grated directly without peeling if frozen and thawed.
- Adding sliced bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, or other vegetables with the onions works well for variation.
- If you don't have oyster sauce, substitute with additional soy sauce, hoisin sauce, or a mild BBQ sauce for different flavor profiles.
- Nutrition facts only consider the turkey and cabbage mixture, excluding optional serving sides.
