    • 1 ½ cups sweet onion, finely diced
    • 1 cup carrots, peeled and shredded
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
    • ½ teaspoon minced ginger
    • ¼ cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked turkey to the skillet. Add the chicken broth, chopped cabbage, Tamari or soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook the Cabbage: Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and stir to combine.
