Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving

  • Cooked white rice
  • 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 5-6 minutes until it is almost fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Sauté Onions and Vegetables: Push the cooked turkey to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Then add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring frequently to combine flavors.
  3. Deglaze and Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits, which will add flavor to the dish.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Stir in the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook the mixture for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender to your liking.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the mixture, stirring to incorporate the nutty flavor evenly.
  6. Serve: Spoon the egg roll mixture into bowls 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 evenly.
  • Tamari is a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce and works well for those avoiding gluten.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground turkey with crumbled tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo according to your spice preference or omit it for a milder dish.
  • This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
