- 1 small sweet onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (finely minced)
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- ¼ cup chicken broth

- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Garnishes and Serving:

- Green onions (green parts only, thinly sliced)

Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating a sizzling cooking surface.
- Introduce ground turkey to the pan, browning the meat thoroughly until nearly cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Relocate the turkey to one side of the skillet, creating space for additional ingredients.
- Add remaining olive oil and diced onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate shredded carrots, minced garlic, and grated ginger, stirring continuously to prevent burning and distribute flavors evenly.
- Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up caramelized bits from the pan’s bottom to enhance the dish’s depth.
- Fold in shredded cabbage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and allow the mixture to simmer for 12-15 minutes until cabbage reaches desired tenderness.
- Remove from heat and drizzle toasted sesame oil over the mixture, providing a nutty aromatic finish.
- Plate the egg roll mixture atop white rice if desired, creating a complete meal.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, and add a dollop of sriracha mayo for an extra flavor punch.
