Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Large skillet or wok
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
• Sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions:

1. Cook the Ground Meat: Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken or turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
