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
Optional Garnishes
- Cooked white rice
- Green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Sriracha mayo
Instructions
- Cook the turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it’s almost fully cooked through, about 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Sauté onion and aromatics: Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften. Then add shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes while stirring frequently to integrate the flavors.
- Deglaze and add liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan, enhancing the dish’s flavor.
- Add cabbage and seasonings: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together well, then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the cabbage reaches your preferred tenderness.
- Finish with sesame oil: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil, which adds a nutty depth to the dish.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the egg roll in a bowl over cooked white rice if you like. Top with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for an optional spicy kick.
Notes
- Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook evenly and absorb the flavors better.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- Sriracha mayo adds a spicy, creamy dimension but can be omitted for dairy-free preferences.
- This recipe can be made with ground pork or beef if preferred instead of turkey.
- To keep it strictly keto, omit the white rice or substitute with cauliflower rice.
