Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
3 green onions, chopped (whites from greens separated)
1 lb ground turkey
16 oz coleslaw mix
1 cup shredded carrots
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 inch ginger, grated
¼ cup + 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp sriracha
1-2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp salt (more or less to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped white parts of the green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the pan. Break it into smaller chunks and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. In the last minute, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger to release their aroma.
Step 3: Fold in 16 ounces of coleslaw mix and 1 cup of shredded carrots. Toss to combine and cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables soften.
Step 4: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 2 teaspoons of sriracha, 1-2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Add the chopped green parts of the green onions and ⅓ cup of chopped cilantro.
Step 5: Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and adjust soy sauce to taste for moisture. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Step 6: Serve the bowls warm, garnished with additional cilantro and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Avoid overcooking the turkey to keep it moist and tender.
Sauté garlic and ginger towards the end of cooking the turkey to prevent burning and bitterness.
Use frozen shredded carrots if fresh are unavailable, or add chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for extra crunch.
For a vegetarian version, substitute ground turkey with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
Make extra for meal prep—the flavors deepen after a day in the fridge.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through. Adding a splash of soy sauce when reheating can freshen the flavors.
