  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound extra lean ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 21 ounces coleslaw mix (approximately 1.5 bags)
  • 1/3 cup green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet and cook aromatics and turkey: Preheat a large ceramic skillet on medium heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon of oil to coat the surface. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and ground turkey to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, breaking the turkey into small pieces and stirring frequently, until the turkey is fully cooked and the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the coleslaw mix: Incorporate the 21 ounces of coleslaw mix into the skillet with the cooked turkey mixture. Stir well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables while keeping their crunch.
  3. Season and stir fry: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the mixture, then drizzle 1/4 cup of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar on top. Stir everything together and continue stir-frying for another 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly reduce. Stir frequently during this step.
  4. Finish and serve: Turn off the heat. Garnish the dish with the finely chopped green onions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use extra lean ground turkey for a healthier option and less grease.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity for desired saltiness or substitute with a gluten-free tamari if needed.
  • Add a splash of sesame oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for additional depth and spice.
  • This dish is excellent served over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
