INGREDIENTS

– 1 pound ground turkey or chicken (93% lean)
– 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix

– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
– ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
– 1 tbsp sesame oil
– 1 tbsp rice vinegar

METHOD

1. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat, breaking it up while cooking until no pink remains (5-7 minutes)

2. Push meat to one side, add sesame oil and garlic to empty side. Cook until fragrant (30 seconds)

4. Cook until cabbage is just wilted but still slightly crisp (3-5 minutes)

5. Top with sliced green onions and serve hot

CRUCIAL TIPS

– Don’t overcook the cabbage – it should have some crunch
– Drain excess liquid from meat before adding vegetables
– Taste and adjust soy sauce before serving
– Bold seasoning is key – don’t be shy with the ginger and garlic

STORAGE & VARIATIONS

Storage:
– Keeps 3-4 days refrigerated
– Freezes well for up to 2 months

Variations:
– Add scrambled egg for extra protein
– Spice it up with sriracha or red pepper flakes
– Make it vegetarian with crumbled tofu
– Top with crushed peanuts for crunch

Common Mistakes:
– Using regular cabbage without shredding finely enough
– Skipping the sesame oil (crucial for authentic flavor)
– Overcooking until vegetables are mushy

This recipe is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day. The key is keeping those vegetables crisp-tender and not overdoing the soy sauce – you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
