Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 finely minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving

  • Cooked white rice
  • Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sriracha Mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for about 5-6 minutes until it is almost fully cooked through.
  2. Sauté the aromatics and vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Then add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
  3. Add broth and deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits, which will add flavor to the dish.
  4. Cook the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  5. Finish with sesame oil: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for added aroma and flavor.
  6. Serve the dish: Spoon the egg roll in a bowl mixture over cooked white rice if using. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and, if desired, a drizzle of sriracha mayo for a spicy kick.

Notes

  • Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook evenly and absorb the flavors better.
  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or pork if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, make sure to use Tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
  • Sriracha mayo is optional but adds a delicious spicy, creamy element to the dish.
  • This recipe can be served on its own for a low-carb meal by omitting the rice.
