Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound 93/7 lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and chopped onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the turkey is no longer pink and the onion has softened. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Push the turkey and onion mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the empty side and cook, stirring constantly, for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Stir the aromatics into the turkey mixture.
  3. Pour the soy sauce and rice vinegar into the skillet. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. Add the entire bag of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Use tongs to toss continuously for 2-3 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted but still retains a crisp-tender texture.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and toss one final time. Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For best results, prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking, as this recipe comes together very quickly. Don't be afraid to customize: swap the turkey for ground chicken or pork, add a teaspoon of sriracha for heat, or toss in chopped peanuts for extra crunch. This dish is delicious on its own for a low-carb meal, or can be served over rice, quinoa, or in lettuce cups.
