Ingredients
Sauce
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth or water
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Remaining Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef, ground pork or ground chicken
- 1 medium carrot cut into thin matchsticks
- 6 cremini mushrooms chopped
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
- 4 green onions chopped
- black pepper to taste
- sesame seeds optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the sauce ingredients: chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking up the meat. (The turkey does not need to be fully cooked yet.)
- Add the carrots, mushrooms and bell peppers and cook, stirring often, until the ground turkey is almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until cabbage starts to soften and the turkey is fully cooked. Add the sauce and green onions and cook, stirring, for 2 more minutes, until sauce thickens. Remove pan from the heat and season to taste with pepper. Serve, with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add broccoli. Cut it into small bite-size pieces and add it with the carrots, mushrooms and bell peppers.
- Add cashews or peanuts. Stir them in after the dish is finished, right before serving.
- Make it gluten-free. Replace the soy sauce with gluten-free tamari, gluten-free coconut aminos or gluten-free soy sauce.
