Prep: 5Cook: 15Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 1x

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey (or pork)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon finely grated ginger root
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bag coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage (1214 oz)
  • 6 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 large handfuls spinach, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon Chinese five spice seasoning 
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce—see note)
  • 1 teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 

For the spicy mayo (optional):

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or pork, stirring to break up and crumble the meat as it cooks. Cook until the meat is lightly browned. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Sauté: Add the coleslaw mix and scallions and stir well. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the slaw reduces and begins to wilt. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the spices: Add the Chinese five spice, salt, coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything together, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan as you go. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to set the flavor.
  4. Make the mayo: Combine the mayo, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir until combined.
  5. Serve: Serve warm over jasmine rice, cauliflower rice, or roasted sweet potato if desired. Drizzle the spicy mayo overtop or sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you use soy sauce, reduce the salt in the recipe from 1/4 tsp to just a pinch. 
  2. Time saving tip! Using dried garlic and ginger instead! Swap out the finely grated ginger root for 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and the garlic cloves for 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 
  3. Yes, you can double the recipe! To make egg roll in a bowl for meal prep, just double it and use a large 12-inch skillet when cooking. Store the extra meal in freezer-safe silicone storage bags.
  4. Swap the toasted sesame oil for olive oil if you don’t have any on hand.
