Ingredients

Meat and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 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 and 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

Optional Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Cook the turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sauté onion and aromatics: Push turkey to one side of the pan. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften the onion. Add shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to combine flavors.
  3. Add broth and deglaze: Pour in chicken broth and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate extra flavor into the dish.
  4. Cook the cabbage: Stir in shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 12-15 minutes until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  5. Finish with sesame oil: Remove pan from heat and stir in toasted sesame oil to enhance the nutty aroma and flavor.
  6. Serve: Spoon the egg roll mixture over cooked white rice if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for a spicy kick, if you like.

Notes

  • The head of cabbage used should be shredded finely for best texture and quick cooking.
  • This dish can be served without rice for a low-carb option.
  • Substitute ground turkey with ground chicken, pork, or beef if preferred.
  • Sriracha mayo is optional but adds a nice spicy creaminess.
  • Use gluten-free tamari to make this recipe gluten-free.
