Share .env file with Vite and Express fullstack app

I'm trying to share a .env file across the monorepo. Initially I created a dotenv.config.js file inside a config package which contains the following code:

module.exports = require('dotenv').config({ path: `${__dirname}/.env` });

From the Express application, I can import it with the following:

require('config/dotenv.config');

While this works for backend apps, it does not work for the frontend Vite apps because accessing a path from the client code isn't permitted, which makes sense. I've tried adding the .env file to the monorepo root and add it as a globalDependencies to the turbo.json, however, this doesn't appear to do anything at all. For the Vite environment variables, I've prefixed them with VITE_ as the documentation suggest and tried accessing them with import.meta.env, but they do not exist.

I was able to get this to work with vite.config.js and using a relative path from each frontend app to the .env path, which is fine.
