Ingredients Breakdown
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this tasty dish (and trust me, it’s worth every moment in the kitchen):
- 1 pound ground turkey (99/1): Lean protein that keeps the dish light. You can also use ground chicken or beef if that’s what you have!
- 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil: This brings that amazing nutty flavor we all love in egg rolls.
- 100 grams broccoli slaw mix: Adds crunch and nutrition. Feel free to switch this up with shredded carrots or bell peppers!
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic: Because what’s cooking without garlic? Adds that fragrant punch!
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (90 grams): A delicious substitute for soy sauce. If you’re feeling up for it, low-sodium soy sauce works too.
- 150 grams sliced cabbage: The star of the show! It gives that signature egg roll texture and taste.
- 75 grams chopped water chestnuts (about half a can): Adds extra crunch; you can also skip this if you’re not a fan.
- 1 teaspoon sriracha: For some heat! Adjust this depending on your family’s spice tolerance.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger: Brings a lovely warmth to the dish.
- 1 chopped green onion: For garnish (and more flavor!).
- Salt and pepper to taste: Just a couple pinches!
Ingredient Substitutions
- Protein: Ground beef, pork, or tofu are excellent alternatives.
- Vegetables: Use whatever you have on hand! Shredded kale, spinach, or even bell peppers work wonderfully.
- Ginger: Fresh is great, but if you have ground ginger, that works too!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Ready to dive into the cooking process? Let’s do it together!
Start by cooking the turkey: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Break it up as it cooks, stirring frequently, until it’s browned and fragrant about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to scrape the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan for all that flavor!
Add the aromatics: Toss in your minced garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. You really want that garlic smell to fill your kitchen, it means deliciousness is on the way!
Season it up: Pour in the coconut aminos and sprinkle in the ground ginger. Stir until everything is well combined, about another minute or so. The mixture should smell heavenly by now!
Incorporate the veggies: Mix in the sliced cabbage and broccoli slaw. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until they’re tender yet have a lovely crunch to them. The colors should brighten up, and honestly, how good does that look?
Crunch it up: Add in the chopped water chestnuts and sriracha. Stir occasionally and let the flavors meld for another 3-5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish and serve: Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onion on top before serving. You can even drizzle a little extra sriracha if you like it hot!
