Asian Cabbage and Turkey Saute

Craving Chinese takeout but want a simple and healthier option you can make at home?  This is the recipe for you!  Its quick, tasty, and not full of unknown fat.  It is great on its own without rice as well, so that makes it even more healthy!  Even my husband, who is not the biggest fan of Chinese food loved this!

The recipe is pretty basic, but delicious in its simplicity!  Feel free to add more veggies at your discretion.  And you can use another protein if you would like!  I just happened to have ground turkey on hand, but would definitely make it with ground deer or anything else! 



Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • pinch of sugar
  • 1 t minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 t white vinegar
  • 4 sliced green onions, or owl pine leeks
  • 1 lb shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 T Sriracha or other hot sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground turkey in a skillet and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Remove the turkey from the pan and set aside. Drain off the fat if you wish.
  3. Heat up the sesame oil and saute the garlic, onions and  cabbage in there until the cabbage is cooked to the desired tenderness.
  4. Stir in the hot sauce, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and ginger.
  5. Add the ground turkey back in and mix well to combine.
  6. Serve with extra hot sauce for those spice fans at the table.
