Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil divided
  • 1 lb. ground turkey 90/10
  • 1 ½ cups sweet onion finely diced
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and shredded
  • 3 garlic cloves finely minced
  • ½ tsp. minced ginger
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage cored and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 Tbsp. Tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • ¾ tsp. salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp. pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Optional Toppings:

  • Toasted sesame seeds and green onions

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Push turkey to the side of the pan and add onion and remaining tablespoon of oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour chicken broth in the pan and scrape any brown bits from the bottom.
  • Add cabbage, Tamari or soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until cabbage has reached your desired tenderness.
  • Remove from heat and add toasted sesame oil just before serving. Top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over regular rice, cauliflower rice, or eat it in a bowl by itself.

Notes

*Recipe was updated on 11/6/23 to include an additional cup of cabbage, tablespoon of soy sauce, teaspoon of rice vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Prep-Ahead Instructions
This is the perfect make-ahead dish, the flavor marries as it sits, so you can prepare it a couple of days in advance. Or, simply shred the carrots and cabbage the day before to have them ready.
Storage Directions
Store refrigerated for 3-4 days. I would not recommend freezing this recipe. Excess water will accumulate after thawing, which will cause the cabbage to become mushy. Warm up leftovers in a skillet over medium-low heat for the best taste and texture. You can also warm it up in the microwave, but it will be soggier.
