Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)

Liquids & Seasonings

  • 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

To Serve

  • Cooked white rice (optional)
  • Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sriracha mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until it is almost fully cooked, stirring occasionally to break it apart.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced sweet onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger, and cook together for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add Liquids and Scrape Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and use a spatula to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the pan’s bottom, which adds flavor to the dish.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything well to combine. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the cabbage cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of tenderness.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Give it a final stir to incorporate the nutty flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the egg roll mixture over cooked white rice if desired. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for added spice and creaminess.

Notes

  • Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook quickly and blend with the other ingredients for the perfect texture.
  • You can substitute ground chicken or pork for ground turkey to vary the protein.
  • For a lower carb option, serve without rice or substitute cauliflower rice.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit meat and add extra firm tofu or mushrooms.
  • Sriracha mayo adds a nice spicy touch but is optional if you prefer a milder dish.
