Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey or chicken
¼ cup yellow onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated or minced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce tamari or coconut aminos
1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
2 green onions sliced
sriracha for serving (optional)
sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish
cooked cauliflower rice for serving (optional)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. While cooking, break meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula and season liberally with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or plate.
In the same skillet, over medium heat, add sesame oil. Once hot, add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add coleslaw mix into the skillet. Toss and add soy sauce and sriracha or sambal. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
Add cooked meat back to the pan and toss to combine. Taste and add more soy sauce or sriracha, if needed.
Portion mixture into bowls and top with green onions, sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve with additional soy sauce or sriracha, if desired.

Notes

Protein – Feel free to swap the ground turkey or chicken with ground pork or ground beef instead if you prefer. For a vegan option use tempeh or tofu.
Coleslaw – Feel free to use packaged broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw if you prefer. You can also cut your own cabbage and use shredded carrots if you want.
Add an egg – This recipe doesn't call for eggs, but if you want to amp up the protein you can add one in. Once the cabbage is cooked and ground meat is added back to the pan, create a well in the center of the skillet, add an egg and scramble until the egg is cooked through, then plate and serve.
Serving size – The recipe serves 3, but if we're really hungry we can eat the whole meal between 2 people, especially if we don't serve it with cauliflower rice. If you're serving a family of 4 or want leftovers for lunch the next day, I would definitely double the recipe.
