Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 medium head of cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional Garnishes: Green onions and sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Turkey:
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart until nearly cooked through. - Sauté Aromatics:
Push the turkey to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the empty side, sauté diced onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent, then stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. - Combine Vegetables:
Add shredded carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in cabbage, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly to coat vegetables in the sauce. - Cook Until Tender:
Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender. - Finish with Sesame Oil:
Drizzle sesame oil over the mixture, stir to combine, and adjust seasoning if needed. - Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve on its own or over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
Notes
- Make it Spicy: Add Sriracha, chili garlic sauce, or red pepper flakes for a kick.
- Vegetarian/Vegan Option: Replace turkey with tofu or tempeh and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix for a quicker prep.
