Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lean ground turkey
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
- 4 cups tri-color coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
- 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish:
- Spicy mayo
- Yum yum sauce
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion and ground turkey until the onion is clear and the turkey is cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set turkey mixture aside.
2. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining vegetable oil, coleslaw mix, garlic, and frozen vegetables. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stir, and continue to cook until cabbage softens, about 3 more minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Push veggies to one side and return turkey mixture to the other side of the skillet. Add sesame oil to the bottom and crack eggs into the empty space. Scramble eggs until nearly done.
4. Pour soy sauce over the skillet and stir continuously until everything is well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve topped with sliced green onions and optional spicy mayo or yum yum sauce.
