Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. Mix chipotle hot sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and agave syrup together in a small bowl to make sauce.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Sprinkle sesame seeds over slaw before serving.

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.
