Recipe Notes

  • Cooking Tip: Avoid overcooking the cabbage. Keeping it slightly crisp gives the bowl its signature egg roll texture.

  • Meal Prep: Cook the turkey and vegetables ahead of time and portion into containers with brown rice or quinoa. Keep sauces and toppings separate until serving.

  • Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until steaming hot.

  • Easy Swaps: Substitute ground chicken or crumbled firm tofu for the turkey. For a little heat, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili sauce.
