Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 10 oz bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 16 oz ground turkey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp ginger root, grated
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • 3 green onions, green parts only, thinly sliced optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground turkey until fully cooked; remove from the pan and drain any excess fat.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili garlic sauce; set the sauce aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the thinly sliced onion and sauté about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the skillet with the onion; stir frequently and cook 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are wilted and tender.
  • Return the cooked turkey to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir and cook 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through and well coated.
  • Transfer to plates and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, if using; serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Notes

  • Make the sauce ahead and store separately for convenience.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
  • Swap ground turkey for ground pork or beef if preferred.
  • Adjust chili garlic sauce to taste for heat.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
