Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
Vegetables and Sauce
- 1 (12-14 oz) package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
Toppings and Serving
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey or chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Break meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula while cooking, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add Vegetables and Sauce: Add chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, coleslaw mix, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until cabbage is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
- Serve: Portion the mixture into bowls. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with additional sriracha, soy sauce, or chili crisp on the side. Optionally, serve with cooked cauliflower rice.
Notes
- Topping idea: Add a drizzle of yum yum sauce for creaminess and extra flavor.
- Protein substitutions: Swap ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or beef. For a vegan option, use tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg: To increase protein, create a well in the skillet after cooking the mixture, crack an egg into it, scramble until cooked, then serve.
- Serving size: The recipe yields 3 servings. For a family of 4 or leftovers, double the recipe. If serving without cauliflower rice, 2 servings are quite filling.
