Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 4 cups green cabbage
- 1 large carrot, shredded
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
Push the cooked turkey to one side of the skillet. In the empty side, add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir the garlic and ginger into the turkey, then add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the skillet.
Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
Pour the sauce over the turkey and cabbage mixture and toss everything to combine.
Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot on its own or over steamed rice or noodles.
