Instructions

1. In a large saute pan over medium heat drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and add ground turkey. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until turkey is almost cooked through.
2. Push turkey to the side of the pan and add onion and other tablespoon of oil. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add shredded carrots, garlic, and ginger and saute for 2 minutes. Stir the vegetables and turkey together.
4. Pour chicken broth in the pan and scrape the bottom of it to deglaze it.

Recipe Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

• To Prep-Ahead: This is the perfect make-ahead dish, the flavor marries as it sits, so you can make it a couple of days in advance.
• To Store: Egg roll in a bowl can be refrigerated for up to 3 to 5 days.
• To Freeze: I would not recommend freezing this recipe.  Excess water will accumulate after thawing and make the cabbage mushy.
• To Reheat: Reheat leftovers in a bowl in a skillet over medium-low heat for the best taste and texture. You can also warm it up in the microwave, but the texture will be soggier.
