Method
- Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil. Once shimmering, add the ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the pan.
- Push the turkey to one side of the skillet. Add the sesame oil to the empty side, followed by the chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Stir everything together to combine the turkey with the aromatics.
- While the aromatics cook, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sriracha (if using) in a small bowl.
- Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still retains a slight bite.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the turkey and cabbage mixture. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Variations & Tips:
- Protein Swaps: Ground chicken, ground pork, or crumbled firm tofu work beautifully in place of turkey.
- Veggie Additions: For extra texture and flavor, add sautéed mushrooms, thinly sliced bell peppers, edamame, or chopped water chestnuts along with the coleslaw mix.
- Avoid Soggy Cabbage: Be careful not to overcook the coleslaw mix. Cook only until it's wilted but still has a noticeable crunch to maintain the best texture.
- Prevent Greasiness: Don't skip draining the excess fat from the ground turkey after browning for a cleaner final dish.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve over fluffy white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice. Top with crispy wonton strips for a satisfying crunch that mimics a fried egg roll wrapper.
