Weeknight Skillet Slaw
When you get home from work, you hardly want a big production for dinner. That's when this recipe can be your standby. Cook your ground turkey, then add veggies, cole slaw mix, and sauce and in 10 minutes you've got a hearty meal for everyone to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce such as Cholula®
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 8 ounce package coleslaw mix
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- 2 green onions chopped, or more to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Mix chipotle hot sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and agave syrup together in a small bowl to make sauce.
- Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey; cook, stirring to break up clumps, until juices run clear, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, reserving juices in the wok.
- Combine coleslaw mix, red bell pepper, green onions, and garlic in the wok; cook and stir over medium heat until slaw is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sauce; mix to combine, about 1 minute. Return turkey to the wok and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over slaw before serving.
Notes
Cook’s Note
Substitute ginger paste for the minced ginger and/or white sugar for the agave syrup if desired.
Use coleslaw mix with red cabbage and carrots for maximum color and vegetable variety.
