Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey (or pork/chicken)
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving (Optional):

  • Cooked white rice
  • Green onions, thinly sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sriracha mayo

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until almost cooked through.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add Cabbage and Seasonings: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Stir to combine.
  6. Serve: Serve over cooked white rice (if using) and top with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo, if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for the best texture, but pre-shredded coleslaw mix works in a pinch.
  • Swap ground turkey for ground pork, chicken, or even plant-based crumbles for variety.
  • Adjust the soy sauce to taste or use low-sodium tamari for a less salty option.
  • For extra heat, drizzle with sriracha mayo or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
