Description
A quick and satisfying meal that combines the comforting flavors of an egg roll in a healthy, high-protein bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken (lean; 90–93% lean recommended)
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 2 green onions, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the ground turkey or chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
- Stir in the coleslaw mix and soy sauce. Cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has softened but still retains some texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in sliced green onions, reserving a few for garnish.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For a lower-sodium option, choose low-sodium soy sauce. Ingredients can be tailored based on availability or dietary preference such as using tofu for a vegetarian version.
