Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (450g)
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred 4 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots. Thinly slice 3 green onions, mince 3 cloves of garlic, and grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink and starting to brown, breaking it up with a spatula.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still crisp. Add a teaspoon of water if the pan looks dry to help steam the veggies.
  5. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to coat the meat and veggies evenly.
  6. Add the sliced green onions and toss once more. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or soy sauce if needed. Cook for an additional minute to warm through.
  7. Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds.

Notes

Use fresh ginger for best flavor. To keep turkey moist, add a splash of broth during cooking if desired. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming instead of sautéing. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best on stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
