Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey, chicken, beef or pork
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 bags shredded cabbage (coleslaw) or a small head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1½ cups shredded carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp dried ginger
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil or another oil of choice
  • 1–2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prior to cooking, wash and prepare all of your vegetables.
  2. Prepare the sauce by stirring to combining the garlic, ginger, black pepper, sesame oil, 1 Tbsp olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  3. In a very large skillet or wok, cook ground meat and onions, using a spatula to crumble the meat as it browns. If using a very lean meat, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil as it cooks to help prevent the stir-fry from sticking.  
  4. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. 
  5. Add the sauce and stir to combine. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 5–10 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. Serve and enjoy!
