Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Oils
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
Vegetables and Aromatics
- ½ cup minced onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon dried ginger)
- 1 (14-ounce) bag prepared coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Sauces and Seasonings
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Oil and Cook Onions: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ½ cup minced onion and sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their fragrant flavors without burning.
- Brown the Ground Turkey: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- Add the Coleslaw Mix: Pour in a 14-ounce bag of prepared coleslaw mix. Stir well to combine and continue cooking until the cabbage and vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate Sauces: Add ¼ cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce to the skillet. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients with the sauces.
- Season and Garnish: Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and garnish with ¼ cup chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha when adding sauces.
- This recipe can easily be made with ground pork or chicken instead of turkey.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and use gluten-free hoisin sauce.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
