Instructions
Cooking the Turkey
- Spray cooking pan with nonstick spray and brown the ground turkey over medium heat until evenly browned and no pink remains.
- If there is excess liquid from the meat, drain some to avoid steaming the vegetables.
Adding Aromatics and Vegetables
- Once the turkey is browned, add sesame oil and stir to combine.
- Add minced garlic, broccoli slaw, and coconut aminos, then simmer until broccoli is slightly soft.
- Next, add shredded cabbage, chopped water chestnuts, sriracha, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer until cabbage is wilted.
Final Touches
- Mix in chopped green onions, then top with extra sriracha, a drizzle of coconut aminos, or sprinkle sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch.
Notes
For maximum texture, ensure the meat is deeply browned and excess liquid is drained before adding the vegetables. Store in airtight containers; can keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months.
