Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound ground turkey
Vegetables:
- 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
- 1 small sweet onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (finely minced)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Garnishes and Serving:
- Cooked white rice
- Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat, creating a sizzling base for the dish.
- Introduce ground turkey to the pan, sautéing until it’s nearly cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Relocate the turkey to one side of the skillet, creating space for additional ingredients.
- Add another drizzle of olive oil and incorporate diced onions, allowing them to soften and become translucent for 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce shredded carrots, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring frequently to distribute flavors evenly and prevent burning.
- Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom to enhance the dish’s depth.
- Fold in shredded cabbage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper, creating a harmonious blend of textures and seasonings.
- Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and allow the mixture to simmer for 12-15 minutes until cabbage reaches desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil, infusing a nutty aroma throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the egg roll mixture over a bed of white rice, if desired, for a complete meal.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, and add a dollop of sriracha mayo for an extra flavor punch.
Notes
- Swap ground turkey with plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version that maintains the same delicious texture and flavor profile.
- Control sodium levels by using low-sodium chicken broth and reduced-sodium soy sauce, which helps make the dish heart-friendly.
- Enhance meal prep efficiency by chopping vegetables in advance and storing them in sealed containers for quick weeknight cooking.
- Elevate protein content by adding scrambled eggs directly into the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking for extra richness and nutritional boost.
