Ingredients
  

Lean ground turkey
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
Aromatics and seasonings
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 4 coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions
  • 3 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha optional
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Brown the turkey
  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant and lightly sizzling.
Stir-fry the vegetables
  1. Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still have some crunch.
Sauce and finish
  1. In a small bowl, mix the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and water until smooth. Pour the sauce over the skillet and stir well to coat every portion.
  2. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and looks glossy.
  3. Remove from heat and top with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while the cabbage is crisp-tender.

Notes

Pro tip: use pre-shredded coleslaw mix to keep prep fast and the cabbage crisp-tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat to refresh the texture. Freezing isn’t recommended because the cabbage can soften. For a lower-sodium option, use a reduced-sodium soy sauce and taste before adding extra sriracha.
