Ingredients
  

  • Ground turkey: 1 to 1.25 pounds (93% lean works well).
  • Coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage: About 14–16 ounces.
  • Onion: 1 small yellow or white onion, thinly sliced.
  • Garlic: 3–4 cloves, minced.
  • Fresh ginger: 1 tablespoon, finely grated (or 1 teaspoon ground if needed).
  • Green onions: 3–4, sliced (whites and greens separated).
  • Carrots (optional for strict keto): 1 small, julienned or shredded. You can skip or reduce for lower carbs.
  • Mushrooms (optional): 1 cup, sliced, for extra umami and volume.
  • Coconut aminos or soy sauce: 3–4 tablespoons (use tamari for gluten-free).
  • Sesame oil: 1–2 teaspoons, for finishing.
  • Avocado or olive oil: 1–2 tablespoons, for sautéing.
  • Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon, for brightness (or apple cider vinegar).
  • Chili-garlic sauce or sriracha: To taste, for heat.
  • Sesame seeds: 1 teaspoon, for garnish.
  • Salt and black pepper: To taste.

Method
 

  1. Prep aromatics: Mince garlic, grate ginger, and slice the onion and green onions. Keep green onion tops for garnish.
  2. Heat the pan: Set a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado or olive oil.
  3. Brown the turkey: Add ground turkey. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink and lightly browned, 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add aromatics: Stir in onion, garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook until fragrant and softened, 2–3 minutes.
  5. Layer in veggies: Add coleslaw mix (and mushrooms/carrots if using). Toss well. Cook 4–6 minutes until cabbage is tender-crisp. Don’t overcook—you want some crunch.
  6. Season: Pour in coconut aminos or soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a little chili-garlic sauce if you like heat. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and heat.
  7. Finish with sesame: Turn off heat and drizzle in sesame oil. Add green onion tops and sesame seeds. Toss once more.
  8. Serve: Spoon into bowls and garnish with extra sesame seeds or a squeeze of lime. Enjoy as is or on top of cauliflower rice for extra volume.
