INSTRUCTIONS
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until it is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Pour in the water and reduce the heat to medium. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, garlic powder (or fresh garlic), sesame oil, ginger, and green onions to the skillet. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes or until the cabbage and carrots soften.
- Stir in the rice vinegar and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to heat through thoroughly.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter or bowl. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
