INGREDIENTS
  

For the Stir Fry:

  • ½ pounds lean ground turkey
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ head of medium green cabbage, sliced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil, or avocado oil for cooking
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • salt + black pepper, to taste
  • 3 green onion stalks, sliced thin
  • ¼ cup water, or vegetable broth

For the Stir Fry Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoon agave syrup or brown sugar, add more to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Mix the sauce: In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and agave. Set aside.
    2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sriracha or other hot sauce, 1-2 teaspoon agave syrup or brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Cook the turkey: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add turkey, onions, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
    ½ pounds lean ground turkey, 2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, salt + black pepper, 3 green onion stalks, 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • Add veggies: Stir in cabbage, carrots, and broth. Cover and cook 5–7 minutes until tender.
    ¾ cup shredded carrots, ½ head of medium green cabbage, ¼ cup water
  • Add sauce: Stir in sauce. Cook 1–2 more minutes.
  • Serve: Garnish with more green onions, sesame seeds, or sriracha.

NOTES

  • Regular sesame oil works just fine here too—no need for anything fancy.
  • If you’re heat-sensitive, start with 1 teaspoon of sriracha—1 tablespoon gives it a medium kick, which I love, but you can totally dial it down. I wouldn’t skip it though—it adds so much flavor, not just spice.
  • You can easily swap in any ground meat you have—chicken, turkey, or even beef. I used just half a pound and thought it was the perfect balance with the veggies, but you can use more if you want it extra protein-packed.
  • Love your stir fry extra saucy? Feel free to double the sauce. I personally think this recipe has just the right amount for coating everything, but more sauce is never a bad idea if you like it extra flavorful!
