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

For Serving (Optional):

Cooked white rice

Green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced

Toasted sesame seeds

Sriracha mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until almost cooked through. Break up the turkey as it cooks.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and cook the diced onion for 3-4 minutes. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger, cooking for 2 minutes.
  3. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
  4. Add the Cabbage and Seasonings: Add shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cover. Cook for 12-15 minutes over medium-low heat until the cabbage softens.
  5. Finish and Serve: Stir in toasted sesame oil. Serve the egg roll mixture over cooked rice, topped with green onions, sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo if desired.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, skip the rice and serve over cauliflower rice or on its own.
  • You can use ground chicken, pork, or even tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • Add extra sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or water chestnuts for added texture.
