Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely shred the cabbage and carrots, mince the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions to ensure even cooking and balanced textures throughout the bowl.
Cook the Ground Turkey: Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink to create the savory base of the dish.
Add Vegetables and Sauce: Stir in the shredded cabbage and carrots. Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain a pleasant crunch.
Finish and Garnish: Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped green onions along with your preferred amount of sriracha or chili sauce for a fresh and spicy contrast. Add optional garnishes like toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

Pat shredded cabbage dry before cooking to prevent sogginess.
Keep vegetables slightly crisp for the best texture—avoid overcooking.
Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum aromatic flavor.
Adjust soy sauce and vinegar gradually, tasting as you go to balance flavors.
When reheating meal prep portions, warm gently to preserve texture and moisture.
