“I make this all the time. I add an extra point and drizzle a tablespoon of Sweet Thai Chili Sauce on mine. I also add extra broth sometimes and make it like a soup…just to change things up a bit.” – Nancy
My mom always makes us something delicious for our birthdays. And recently she surprised us with homemade egg rolls and….ohhhhh myyyyy. I mean, who doesn’t love egg rolls?! They’re crispy, flaky…and very, very deep-fried. And as much I’d love to indulge in these perfect little party foods, I just know better. Enter this Instant Pot Weight Watchers egg roll bowl with Freestyle Smart Points – and guys, it’s ONLY 1 POINT per serving. This is also a great recipe if you’re on the 21 Day Fix or a low-carb, high protein eating plan.
This recipe is from Chellie over at Art From My Table. This recipe is full of flavor and the slaw makes is super crunchy, which I like to believe tricks my brain into thinking I’m eating a real egg roll (ugh, wishful thinking…) But I DO get all of those yummy flavors and don’t feel like I just took a shot of fryer oil. Always looking for those positives 😉 Plus, this recipe uses the good ol’ Instant Pot, so it’s convenient and fuss-free!

If you’re coming back to this recipe, I’ve made some changes. Most notably, I’ve changed it to serve 4. When I would make this, I realized that I had tons of leftovers (and to be honest, I don’t love leftover cabbage a few days out). So I’ve updated this for four people. You can easily double this recipe for eight servings. The cook time will be the same.
Serves 4 (each serving size is about 2 cups)
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chicken broth
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
1-2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 16 oz package coleslaw
salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
Directions:
Turn IP on Saute
Add sesame oil and onion, saute until onion is just tender, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add ground turkey and using a spoon, break up as it browns (note, you do not need to brown it all the way, just mostly).
Turn the IP off.
Add soy sauce, ginger, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon scallions as well as half of the coleslaw. Stir well to combine. (Alternatively, you could leave the coleslaw out completely and add it all at the end…this is actually my preferred method).
Place the lid on the Instant Pot with the valve in Sealed position.
Use manual high pressure for 2 minutes.
When finished cooking, use quick release.
Add the remaining of coleslaw (or all of it, if you saved it for the end) and stir well. Add the remaining scallions.
Be sure to always double check the container counts/nutritional date/WW points yourself!
