- 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

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For Serving (Optional):

- Green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Deglaze the Pan:
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to enhance the flavor.
- 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.
- Finish the Dish:
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor.
- 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.
