Description
A delicious and easy ground turkey stir fry with fresh vegetables and a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 green onions, chopped (greens and whites separated)
- 1 lb ground turkey (beef or chicken work too)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 16 oz shredded cabbage coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 lime, juice of
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice blend
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients including the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, Chinese spice blend, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk and set aside.
- Chop the green onions, separating the green and white parts. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Heat olive oil and then add the white parts of the green onion, sauté for 1-2 minutes and lower to medium heat.
- Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until turkey is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger to the cooked meat and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Add the shredded cabbage or broccoli slaw and sauce and cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the green part of onions.
- Optional: Top with sriracha sauce or hot sauce and sesame seeds and serve with brown rice or white rice.
Notes
- I suggest prepping the sauce before starting the meat so it’s ready to go.
