Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey (or any preferred protein) Substitute with ground chicken, beef, or a plant-based protein.
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil) Can use any oil of your choice.
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot) Pre-packaged coleslaw mix works well.
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Use fresh for maximum flavor.
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger) Fresh is always best if available.
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos Great soy sauce alternative.
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet, add the coconut oil and heat over medium heat until melted.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and green onions. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the coleslaw mix to the skillet, tossing it with the turkey mixture. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the veggies are tender but still crunchy.
- Pour in the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For meal prep, store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Freeze the mixture (without garnishes) for up to 2 months. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor, and customizing with extra veggies or nuts can add nutrition and texture.
