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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finish with sesame oil: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for added aroma and flavor.
- 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.
