Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 small head cabbage, about 8 cups shredded
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving (Optional)

  • Cooked white rice
  • Green onions (green parts only), thinly sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Sriracha Mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and cook turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté aromatics and vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely diced sweet onion, shredded carrots, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the carrots start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add cabbage and chicken broth: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet along with the chicken broth. Stir everything together, cover the skillet, and let the cabbage steam for about 5-7 minutes until it softens but still retains a bit of crunch.
  4. Combine turkey and seasonings: Return the cooked ground turkey to the skillet. Add the soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Finish with toasted sesame oil: Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Give everything a final stir to evenly distribute the flavor.
  6. Serve: Serve the egg roll in a bowl hot, optionally over cooked white rice. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of Sriracha mayo if desired for a spicy kick.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or pork for variation.
  • For a lower-carb meal, skip the rice or use cauliflower rice instead.
  • Fresh ginger adds a bright flavor; if unavailable, ground ginger can be used but reduce quantity to ¼ teaspoon.
  • Shredding the cabbage finely helps it cook evenly and blend well with other vegetables.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity to control saltiness, especially if using regular soy sauce versus low sodium.
