Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup diced sweet or white onion
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 3-4 green onions sliced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey or ground turkey breast
- salt & pepper to season
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 bag of shredded coleslaw mix 12-16 ounces
- 1 cup fresh bean sprouts optional
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon sriracha optional
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients. Dice the onion. Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler. Slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts, and chop the cilantro leaves, discarding the stems.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Add the diced onion, grated ginger, crushed garlic, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and translucent.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Break it up into small pieces with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded carrots, coleslaw mix, bean sprouts, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the cabbage softens and reduces in size. If you like heat, add a drizzle of sriracha and stir to combine.
- Remove from the heat and top with the green parts of the green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
