From Kitchen to Table

Prepare the Ingredients

Take a few minutes to gather and prep everything before you start. Having the garlic minced and vegetables ready makes the cooking flow feel calm and effortless.

Brown the Meat

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks, letting it brown evenly and release that savory aroma.

Add Aromatics

Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook briefly until fragrant. This step sets the foundation for the cozy, familiar flavors to come.

Season Well

Pour in the coconut aminos, add the ground ginger, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Stir gently so every bite gets coated with that savory seasoning.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add the broccoli slaw, sliced cabbage, and chopped water chestnuts. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still have a little crunch, bringing balance to the skillet.

Finish and Serve

Lower the heat and let everything meld together for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onion, take a deep breath, and serve warm straight from the pan.
