Mix the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce together in a bowl (soy sauce, hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger) and set it aside so it’s ready to go when you need it. This is also a good time to dice your onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Crumble the ground turkey in the skillet and cook until fully brown. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook with the meat for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Now lower the heat to medium-low and add the coleslaw mix and the stir-fry sauce. Stir everything together until well combined. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has cooked down and becomes crisp-tender. Do not overcook at this point. You want the cabbage to be tender, but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat and top with sliced green onions. Enjoy as is or serve with rice or noodles. You can also drizzle your bowl with a little sriracha or sweet chili sauce on top!
Notes
Substitute coleslaw mix for 6 cups of shredded cabbage and 1 finely shredded carrot.
It's very important not to overcook the cabbage. You want it to be tender, but still slightly crisp...not mushy! As soon as 4-5 min is up, remove the skillet from the heat.
This recipe easily makes 5-6 servings especially if you add rice with it.
