# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it's almost cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.
02 -
Push the turkey to one side of the pan and add the diced onion along with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty space. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften.
03 -
Add the shredded carrots, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the carrots begin to soften slightly.
04 -
Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. These bits add great flavor to the dish.
05 -
Add the shredded cabbage, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir everything well to combine all the ingredients, then cover the pan with a lid.
06 -
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the cabbage has reached your desired tenderness. You can stir occasionally during this time.
07 -
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the toasted sesame oil over the mixture. Stir to incorporate - this adds a wonderful nutty flavor that really makes the dish taste like an egg roll.
08 -
Serve the egg roll in a bowl over white rice if desired, and top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo for an extra kick.
# Notes:
01 -
Freshly shredded cabbage works best, but you can also use 2 bags of coleslaw mix or pre-shredded cabbage to save time.
02 -
Tamari is a great substitute for soy sauce if you want less sodium or need a gluten-free option.
03 -
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but this dish is not recommended for freezing as the cabbage can become mushy when thawed.
