Ground Turkey Cabbage Skillet
Description
Cooking begins by softening onions in avocado oil, followed by adding sliced cabbage to wilt and release moisture. The ground turkey is browned in the skillet along with fresh minced garlic and ginger for aromatic depth. Coconut aminos and optional rice vinegar contribute salty and acidic notes, while sriracha adds heat if desired. The mixture simmers until most liquid evaporates to concentrate the flavors.
This skillet meal provides a one-pan combination of protein and vegetables, suitable as a hearty lunch or dinner. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, customizing spice levels with sriracha. It pairs well with steamed rice or can be enjoyed on its own for a lighter option.
Substituting coconut aminos with low-sodium soy sauce is possible; adjust seasoning accordingly to avoid excess salt. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for several days, making it practical for meal prepping.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion sliced
- 1 green cabbage sliced, head
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic minced.
- 1 Tbsp ginger peeled and grated, optional, fresh
- 4 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar optional
- 2 to 3 tsp sriracha optional
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet (a large 12-inch skillet with a deep rim is recommended!) or a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion and cook until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stir as best you can (it will be overflowing) and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted and much liquid is seeping out, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid and create space in the center of the skillet to add the ground turkey and the fresh minced garlic and ginger. Allow the turkey to brown for a few minutes untouched, then use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces and incorporate it into the cabbage and onion.
- Pour in the coconut aminos (or liquid aminos or soy sauce) and rice vinegar and sriracha (if adding) and stir well.
- If there is still a lot of liquid at the bottom of the skillet, continue cooking over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired level of thickness.
- Serve this ground turkey cabbage skillet with any choice of side dishes and your favorite toppings (such as grated cheese, sliced avocado, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, etc). And enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute coconut aminos with low-sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos, adjusting added salt as needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
