Cook Ground Meat: In a large saute pan over medium heat drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and add ground meat. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until turkey is almost cooked through.
2 Tbsp. oil, 1 lb. ground turkey
Sauté and Deglaze: Push turkey to the side of the pan and add onion and other tablespoon of oil. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Stir the vegetables and turkey together. Pour chicken broth in the pan and scrape the bottom of it to deglaze it.

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

Egg roll in a bowl can be refrigerated for up to 3 to 5 days. I would not recommend freezing this recipe. Excess water will accumulate after thawing and make the cabbage 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.

Recipe Tips

Make it colorful. Use different varieties of cabbage—green or purple cabbage both taste great!
Choose your favorite. Ground beef, turkey, or pork all are fantastic in the recipe.
Adjust to your meal plan. If you're not on a Paleo, keto, or Whole30 diet you can use regular gluten-free soy sauce or Tamari instead.
Pack a punch. Load it up with even MORE vegetables. Chinese broccoli, zucchini, and squash would taste great in here, too.
Top it off. This dish is fantastic on white or brown rice. Or make it healthier on riced cauliflower. But, it is also delicious by itself!
