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 (Optional)

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

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it is almost fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Sauté Onion and Aromatics: Push the turkey to one side of the pan, then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced sweet onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Then stir in the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
  3. Add Broth and Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, which add flavor to the dish.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything well, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cabbage reaches your preferred tenderness.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for an added rich, nutty flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the egg roll in a bowl immediately. Optionally, you can serve it over cooked white rice and top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for an extra kick.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground pork, chicken, or beef depending on your preference.
  • Using tamari makes this recipe gluten-free.
  • To make it vegetarian or vegan, substitute the meat with tofu or tempeh and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook evenly and meld better with the flavors.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator will keep for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped water chestnuts or bean sprouts just before serving.
