Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey Use lean ground turkey for a healthier option, 99/1 is recommended.
  • 0.5 Tbsp toasted sesame oil Toasted sesame oil adds a rich, nutty flavor; don't substitute with regular sesame oil.
  • 100 g broccoli slaw mix This mix often contains shredded broccoli stems, carrots, and red cabbage, providing good texture.
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic Freshly minced garlic will give the best flavor, but pre-minced works too.
  • 3 Tbsp coconut aminos A soy-free alternative to soy sauce, often used for a milder, slightly sweeter umami.
  • 150 g sliced cabbage Green cabbage is typically used here, providing a crisp texture when cooked briefly.
  • 75 g chopped water chestnuts Adds a delightful crunch to the dish; drain well before chopping.
  • 1 tsp sriracha Adjust the amount to your preferred level of spice, or omit for a milder dish.
  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger Ground ginger provides a warm, aromatic flavor; fresh ginger can be substituted.
  • 1 stalk green onion Used as a garnish to add freshness and a mild onion flavor.
  • 1 tsp salt Season to your preference, adding flavor depth.
  • 1 tsp pepper Freshly ground black pepper is always best.

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Add toasted sesame oil, then ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, cabbage, and broccoli slaw. Stir well and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
  4. Pour in coconut aminos, sriracha (if using), and water chestnuts. Stir to combine thoroughly and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Finish the dish by stirring in the chopped green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
  6. Serve the High Protein Egg Roll in a Bowl as is for a low-carb option, or over cauliflower rice or jasmine rice for a more substantial meal.
