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

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Once the turkey is cooked, push it to one side of the pan. Add the diced onion and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, making sure to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits add amazing flavor!
6. Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce (or Tamari), rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
7. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and add the toasted sesame oil. Stir to incorporate it throughout the dish.
9. Serve the egg roll mixture over cooked white rice, if desired. Top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and optional sriracha mayo for a spicy kick!
