Description
A delicious and healthy recipe for Thai Turkey and Cabbage Bowls, packed with flavor and nutrients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix in the diced red bell pepper and shredded cabbage, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the turkey and cabbage mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Serve the mixture in bowls, topped with chopped peanuts if desired, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- For added crunch, serve the bowls over cooked rice or quinoa.
- Substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or tofu for a vegetarian option.
