Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
Vegetables and Sauce
- 1 12-14 oz package coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
Toppings and Serving
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro, for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula. Season liberally with salt and pepper as it cooks.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and the entire package of coleslaw mix to the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha or sambal oelek. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender and flavors meld together.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mixture and add more soy sauce or sriracha according to preference to enhance the flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Portion the egg roll mixture into bowls and top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with additional sriracha or soy sauce and cooked cauliflower rice on the side if desired.
Notes
- Topping idea: Add a drizzle of yum yum sauce for creaminess and extra flavor.
- Protein swaps: Use ground pork, beef, or for a vegan version use tempeh or tofu.
- Add an egg: For more protein, create a well in the skillet after cooking and scramble an egg into the mixture before serving.
- Serving size tips: Serves 3 comfortably; double the recipe for a family of 4 or for leftovers.
