Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 lb ground turkey
1 small sweet onion, finely diced
1 cup shredded carrots
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tsp finely minced fresh ginger
¼ cup chicken broth
1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
3 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Optional for Serving:
Cooked white rice
Green onions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
Toasted sesame seeds
Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Cook turkey: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5–6 minutes until nearly cooked through.
- Sauté veggies: Push turkey to one side. Add remaining oil and onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes. Add carrots, garlic, and ginger; cook 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
- Deglaze: Pour in chicken broth and scrape up brown bits from the pan.
- Add cabbage: Stir in shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cover.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook covered for 12–15 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
- Finish: Stir in toasted sesame oil.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls over rice if desired. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
Notes
- For a protein switch, use ground pork, beef, or chicken instead of turkey.
- For a low-carb option, serve without rice or use cauliflower rice.
- Add extra vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or snap peas for more nutrition.
- Top with crispy wonton strips or chopped peanuts for a crunchy finish.
