👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and diced sweet onion. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
- 3
Add the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook until the cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- 5
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm over cooked white rice if desired, and drizzle with sriracha mayo for an extra kick.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Cook ground turkey to 165°F internal temperature (about 5-7 minutes) before adding aromatics, because residual heat will continue denaturing proteins and releasing moisture that would otherwise dilute your broth later.timing165°F internal temperature
- ✓Add cabbage in two batches: 2/3 at the 3-minute mark and final 1/3 after broth is added, because cabbage releases 2-3% of its weight as water per minute when heated, preventing the bowl from becoming soupy.technique2-3% water release per minute
- ✓Reduce chicken broth to 3 tablespoons and increase soy sauce to 4 tablespoons because the 1:1 liquid ratio will result in excess moisture; soy sauce's 17% sodium content also seasons faster than broth alone.ingredient17% sodium content in soy sauce
- ✓Toast sesame seeds separately in a 325°F dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before garnishing, because they release volatile oils (sesame oil) when heated, and adding them to the hot bowl will cause those aromatics to dissipate into steam.technique325°F, 2-3 minutes
- ✓Mince ginger to 1/8-inch pieces maximum and add it with garlic at the 2-minute mark (not earlier), because ginger's pungent gingerol compounds break down after 3-4 minutes of heating above 140°F, losing spice intensity.ingredient1/8-inch pieces, 3-4 minute heat limit
