Equipment Needed

  • Large Frying Pan / Skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Plates

 

Ingredients

  • 454 grams Extra Lean Ground Turkey 
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 8 cups Green Cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • 1 Carrot (large, julienned)
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tbsps Soy Sauce, Low Sodium
  • 1 Lime (juiced, plus more for garnish)
  • 3 Garlic (clove, minced)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger (fresh, minced or grated)

Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large frying pan / skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Leave the lid off and add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once it is cooked through and no longer pink, drain any excess drippings from the pan and set the turkey aside.

Step 2

To the same skillet, add the oil. Once warm, add the cabbage and carrot. Stir to coat in the oil and sauté for a minute. Add the water then cover with the lid. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the cabbage wilts down and carrot is just tender.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl combine the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic and ginger. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the cooked turkey back to the skillet and stir to mix. Add the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine everything. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 5

Divide evenly between plates and serve with lime wedges, if using. Enjoy!
