Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean)

Vegetables

  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Sauces & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Optional

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrots to ensure even cooking and flavor blending. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger for a vibrant aromatic base.
  2. Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Brown the ground turkey until fully cooked and starting to get crispy, breaking it apart for uniform texture.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics and Veggies: Push the turkey to one side of the pan. Add garlic and ginger to the empty side and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss and cook until vegetables soften slightly but retain a bit of crunch.
  4. Add the Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir everything well to coat turkey and vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped green onions and chili flakes if desired. Give the bowl a final toss and serve immediately, enjoying the balance of warm turkey and fresh crunchy veggies.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook vegetables; keep cabbage and carrots slightly crisp to retain texture and color.
  • Use fresh grated ginger for a brighter, more complex flavor.
  • Toast sesame oil at the end to enhance its nutty aroma without overpowering the dish.
  • Use a wide, flat pan to prevent steaming and achieve better stir-fry texture.
  • Adjust heat by adding chili flakes or fresh chilies gradually to suit your taste.
