Ingredients
  

  • For the Bowls:
  • o 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • o 1 medium-sized yellow onion diced
  • o 1 pound ground turkey
  • o 5 cloves garlic minced
  • o 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • o 4 cups thinly sliced cabbage about 1 medium-sized head
  • o ½ red bell pepper chopped
  • o 1 large carrot grated
  • o 4 green onions chopped
  • For the Sauce:
  • o ¼ cup sunflower seed butter peanut butter, or almond butter
  • o ¼ cup coconut aminos or liquid aminos
  • o 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or cider vinegar
  • o 2 teaspoons sriracha optional, for heat
  • o 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey optional, for sweetness
  • o ½ teaspoon curry powder

Instructions
 

  • Make the Sauce:
  • o In a small bowl, whisk together the sunflower seed butter (or peanut/almond butter), coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sriracha (if using), maple syrup (if using), and curry powder until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
  • Cook the Turkey:
  • o In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat.
  • o Incorporate the chopped onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it becomes tender and translucent.
  • o Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon.
  • o Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
  • o Stir in the chopped garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until they release their aromatic scents.
  • Add the Vegetables:
  • o Push the turkey mixture to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the sliced cabbage, chopped red bell pepper, and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  • Combine and Toss:
  • o Add the prepared sauce to the skillet with the turkey and vegetables.
  • o Toss everything together until the sauce evenly coats the turkey and vegetables.
  • Serve:
  • o Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
  • o Serve the Thai turkey and cabbage mixture in bowls, garnished with additional green onions or a squeeze of lime if desired.
  • o Enjoy it on its own or over a bed of rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
