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 (see note)
  • 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

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
  2. Push the turkey to one side of the pan. Add the onion and remaining tablespoon of oil; cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Incorporate shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger; cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add the cabbage, tamari or soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness. Remove from heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil.
  4. Serve the egg roll in a bowl over white rice, if using. Top with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha mayo, if desired.

Notes

*Recipe was updated on 11/6/23 to include an additional cup of cabbage, tablespoon of soy sauce, teaspoon of rice vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Nutrition: Facts were calculated without any of the additional serving options.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I would not recommend freezing this recipe since excess water will accumulate after thawing, causing the cabbage to become mushy.
  • Reheating: Warm up leftovers in a skillet over medium-low heat for the best taste and texture. You can also warm it up in the microwave, but it will be soggier.
  • Cabbage. Freshly shredded cabbage is best, but you can also use 2 bags of coleslaw mix or pre-shredded cabbage.
  • Soy sauce: Regular soy sauce works great, but can be a tad bit too salty. I prefer to use Tamari when making this recipe so you get all of the flavor without the extra sodium. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free, too! Use coconut liquid aminos if on a Whole30 diet.
