Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
- 2 green onions, sliced
Optional Garnishes and Serving
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook, breaking into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Season liberally with salt and pepper as it cooks.
- Add aromatics and vegetables: Add chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Season the dish: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha or sambal oelek. Stir to fully combine and cook for an additional minute to blend flavors. Taste and adjust soy sauce or sriracha amounts as needed.
- Serve and garnish: Portion the mixture into bowls. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with extra sriracha, soy sauce, or chili crisp if desired. Optionally serve with cooked cauliflower rice to make it a more substantial meal.
Notes
- Topping idea: Try drizzling yum yum sauce for a creamy and flavorful twist.
- Protein substitutions: Swap ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or ground beef. For a vegan option, use crumbled tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg: For extra protein, make a well in the skillet after cooking and scramble in one egg until cooked before serving.
- Serving size: The recipe yields 3 servings but can be doubled for families or leftovers. If served without cauliflower rice, it can serve 2 very hungry people.
