Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1 cup sliced green onions
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the coleslaw mix and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crunchy.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), and hoisin sauce.
  6. Pour the sauce over the turkey and coleslaw mixture, stirring well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
  9. Scoop the turkey and veggie mixture into bowls. Optionally, serve over rice or quinoa.
  10. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and add any additional toppings like cilantro or jalapeños if desired.
