Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bowl:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving (Optional):

  • Cooked white rice
  • Green onions (green parts only), 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 up with a spoon, until almost cooked through.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
    • Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Add shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Deglaze the Pan:
    • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enhance the flavor.
  4. Add the Cabbage and Sauce:
    • Stir in the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
    • Mix well, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Finish the Dish:
    • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve warm over cooked white rice, if desired.
    • Garnish with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for added spice and creaminess.

Notes

  • Low-Carb Option: Skip the rice and enjoy it as a stand-alone dish or serve over cauliflower rice.
  • Protein Swaps: Substitute ground turkey with ground pork, chicken, or even crumbled tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Spice Level: Add chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the skillet for a spicier version.
