02 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
03 - ¾ teaspoon salt
04 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
05 - 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
06 - 1 small head of cabbage, roughly 8 cups shredded
07 - ¼ cup chicken stock
08 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
09 - 3 garlic cloves, minced into tiny pieces
10 - 1 cup finely shredded carrots

12 - 1 pound ground turkey
13 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, split in half

→ For Serving

14 - Sriracha mayo
15 - Toasted sesame seeds
16 - Green onion tops, thinly sliced
17 - Steamed white rice

# Instructions:

01 - In a big skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the turkey and cook it, stirring now and then, until almost ready—this takes 5-6 minutes.
02 - Shift the turkey to one side of the pan and pour in the other tablespoon of oil. Drop in the diced onion and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring sometimes. Add the shredded carrots, garlic, and a touch of ginger, stirring often for 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, scraping up any caramelized bits stuck to the skillet.
03 - Toss the cabbage into the pan along with the tamari (or soy sauce), vinegar, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir, cover, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let it cook gently for 12-15 minutes or until the cabbage is as tender as you like. Once done, drizzle the toasted sesame oil over it.
04 - Dish up the cabbage mixture over some white rice, if you'd like. Sprinkle with green onion tops, sesame seeds, and a dollop of sriracha mayo for some extra flair.

# Notes:

01 - We made updates on 11/6/23, adding one more cup of shredded cabbage, an extra tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
02 - Leftovers will last 3-4 days in the fridge. Freezing isn't ideal since the cabbage gets mushy once defrosted from all the water.
03 - For better taste and texture, reheat leftovers on the stove at medium-low in a skillet. Using a microwave is ok, but it softens the cabbage more.
04 - Freshly chopped cabbage works best, though pre-shredded cabbage bags or coleslaw mix are fine substitutes.
05 - Soy sauce is delicious but can run salty. Tamari gives the same flavor without as much salt and is naturally gluten-free. Coconut aminos are a good pick if you're following Whole30.
