• 1 cup (70 g) shredded carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 packet (1 oz/28 g) ranch seasoning mix (use gluten-free if desired)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Skillet

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Stir in garlic and ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Season

Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning mix and black pepper; stir well.

Step 5: Stir-fry Vegetables

Add cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until veggies are just tender but still crisp.

Step 6: Finish the Sauce

Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7: Add Green Onions

Remove from heat; stir in green onions.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Divide mixture among bowls. Top with crispy wonton strips, sesame seeds, and cilantro if using. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, ensure your skillet is preheated before adding the turkey to get a good sear. When sautéing the garlic and ginger, keep them moving to prevent burning, which only takes about a minute to reach peak fragrance.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily swap the ground turkey for ground chicken or plant-based crumbles. For a lower-carb version, omit the wonton strips or replace them with toasted sliced almonds. To make the dish dairy-free, be sure to select a ranch seasoning mix that does not contain milk ingredients.

Serviervorschläge

Divide the mixture into four bowls and garnish generously with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro. If you enjoy a bit of extra heat, drizzle the bowls with sriracha or chili oil just before serving.
