  • 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup chicken broth

Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey and cook until it is almost cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Push the turkey to one side of the pan, add the finely diced onion and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Incorporate the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cover.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, until cabbage reaches desired tenderness.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and add the toasted sesame oil for extra flavor.
  9. Serve over white rice if using, and top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and Sriracha mayo if desired.
