Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 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
  • 1 small head cabbage (about 8 cups shredded)

Liquids and Seasonings

  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

For Serving

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

Instructions

  1. Cook Turkey: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it is almost fully cooked through, about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the finely diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is softened. Then add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes while stirring frequently to release their aromas.
  3. Add Liquids and Deglaze: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon to add flavor to the dish.
  4. Cook Cabbage Mixture: Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or Tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well to combine, then cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage reaches your preferred tenderness.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil for a nutty aroma. Serve the egg roll in a bowl mixture over warm cooked white rice, if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or pork depending on preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, use Tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish can be made vegetarian by replacing ground turkey with crumbled tofu and using vegetable broth.
  • Shredding cabbage finely allows it to cook evenly and absorb the flavors better.
