Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or turkey Choose your preferred ground meat.
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is recommended.
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots) You can use pre-packaged coleslaw mix for convenience.
Sauces and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option) Use coconut aminos for gluten-free.

- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger Fresh ginger can be used for a more vibrant flavor.

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the coleslaw mix, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ground ginger. Mix well and let cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
- Once fully cooked, remove from heat and serve it warm. Top with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to taste and adjust the soy sauce or spices according to your preference. This dish is perfect for meal prep! Make a double batch and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Fresh garlic and ginger elevate the flavors significantly, so opt for fresh over powdered when possible.
