Protein
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
Vegetables & Aromatics
- ¼ cup yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 (12-14 oz) package coleslaw mix
- 2 green onions, sliced
Sauces & Oils
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1–2 teaspoons sriracha or sambal oelek
Garnishes & Optional
- Sriracha for serving (optional)
- Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish
- Cooked cauliflower rice for serving (optional)
- Cook 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. While cooking, break the meat into smaller pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula. Season liberally with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Cook veggies: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, coleslaw mix, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sriracha to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce or sriracha if desired.
- Serve: Portion the mixture into bowls. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve with additional soy sauce, sriracha, or chili crisp if you like extra spice. For a complete meal, serve alongside cooked cauliflower rice if preferred.
Notes
- Use ground chicken or turkey for a lean protein option.
- Coleslaw mix usually contains shredded cabbage and carrots; avoid adding extra carrots if aiming for lower carbs.
- Adjust spice level by increasing or decreasing sriracha or sambal oelek.
- To keep it gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of regular soy sauce.
- Cauliflower rice is optional but pairs well for a low-carb meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
