Ingredients
Protein
- 1 lb ground turkey (beef or ground chicken would work as well)
Vegetables
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix (prepackaged)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bell peppers (diced)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (minced)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ground turkey (or your choice of ground beef or chicken) and onion, cooking until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat or liquid, then return the meat to the skillet.
- Sauté Aromatics and Peppers: Add diced bell peppers, minced garlic, fresh ginger, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Stir and cook for a few minutes, until the peppers begin to soften and the aromatics are fragrant.
- Add Sauces and Vegetables: Mix in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, coleslaw mix, and shredded carrots. Continue to cook while stirring for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cabbage and coleslaw mix have wilted and everything is heated through.
- Finish with Green Onions: Stir in the chopped green onions just before removing from heat for added freshness and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef as desired.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce.
- Adjust the amount of hoisin sauce and soy sauce based on your preferred saltiness and sweetness.
- This dish can be served as a low-carb meal or over steamed rice or noodles for added carbs.
- To make it spicier, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
