Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 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
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)

Liquids and Seasonings

  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Optional Garnishes

  • Cooked white rice
  • Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sriracha mayo

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is almost fully cooked through.
  2. Sauté Onions and Vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the finely diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring frequently to release their flavors.
  3. Add Broth and Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan to incorporate their flavor into the mixture.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage along with soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients, then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has softened to your liking.
  5. Finish with Sesame Oil: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil to infuse the dish with a nutty aroma.
  6. Serve: Spoon the egg roll mixture over cooked white rice if desired, and garnish with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo for added flavor and spice.

Notes

  • Make sure to finely shred the cabbage for even cooking and better texture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken, pork, or beef depending on your preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce and ensure sriracha mayo ingredients are gluten-free.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo to taste or omit it for a milder dish.
  • This dish can be made low-carb by omitting the white rice.
