Instructions

Thinly slice cabbage, or use pre-shredded coleslaw mix. Grate zucchini using the large holes of a grater. Grate carrots the same way. Thinly slice green onions, separating into 1/2 cup whites (lower parts) and 1/4 cup greens.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, turkey, garlic, ginger, and a 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the turkey, for 5–7 minutes or until fully cooked. Drain excess liquid if needed.
While the turkey cooks, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Add cabbage and carrots to the skillet; stir and cook for 2–4 minutes until the cabbage wilts. Add zucchini, green onion whites, and the sauce; stir for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with green onion greens.
Optional: Whisk mayo, Sriracha, 1 tbsp lime juice, and a small pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust Sriracha to taste; see note 1.

Notes

Note 1: Adjust the Sriracha mayo to your taste. If too spicy, add more lime juice or a pinch of sugar.

Storage: Cool the ground turkey stir fry to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the veggies become soggy when thawed.
