  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 cup onion, diced (125g)
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, finely minced (225g)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Vegetables

  • 5 oz. can water chestnuts, drained and chopped (1 cup, 140g)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 16 oz. bag coleslaw mix (one bag)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (25g)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep: Gather and prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the mushrooms, garlic, and ginger, chopping the water chestnuts, and slicing the green onions.
  2. Cook Turkey: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until mostly cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add the diced onion, minced garlic and ginger, and minced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms soften and their moisture mostly cooks off.
  4. Add Cabbage Mix: Stir in the coleslaw mix thoroughly. Cook for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but retains some crunch.
  5. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until combined.
  6. Combine and Heat: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet along with the chopped water chestnuts. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring ingredients are evenly coated and warmed through.
  7. Finish and Serve: Stir in the sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy the dish as is or serve it over rice. Optionally garnish with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or pork for different flavor profiles.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your heat preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Adding fresh sesame seeds as garnish enhances presentation and adds a subtle nutty flavor.
  • This recipe stores well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat thoroughly before serving.
