1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb lean ground turkey (or pork or chicken or beef)
1/2 small onion chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger or ginger paste
14 oz packaged slaw mix (red and green cabbage and carrots)
1/4 cup (scant cup) low sodium soy sauce ***
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
1 green onion sliced thinly, both green and white parts
Garnish suggestions:
sriracha sauce
sweet red chili sauce
chile crisp
chow mein noodles
fried wonton strips (found with salad toppings)
sesame seeds
Preheat a large skillet over medium, and add the protein. Brown thoroughly, stirring and breaking up clumps as you go. If more than about a tablespoon of fat or liquid has accumulated in the pan, drain off the extra.
Stir in the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to remove the rawness.
Add the garlic and ginger and stir to mix with the meat.
Fold in the slaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) and pour the soy sauce and sesame seed oil (and optional hoisin sauce) over the top. Stir well and saute until the cabbage has wilted.
Stir in the green onions at the end, and serve with garnishes.
*** Can use any asian sauce you like - soy, hoisin, tamari, etc in different ratios as desired.
