Chop your green onion, drain the water chestnuts, and measure everything out. Having everything ready makes cooking a breeze!

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s fully cooked and lightly browned.
3. Add the Aromatics
Stir in the garlic and green onion. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. You want that sizzle!

Mix in the coconut aminos, ground ginger, and sriracha. Stir well to evenly coat the meat and lock in those delicious flavors.
5. Toss in the Veggies
Add the cabbage, broccoli slaw, and water chestnuts. Cook for another 5–7 minutes until the veggies are tender but still have a satisfying crunch.
6. Finish It Off
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes on low heat so the flavors meld. Top with fresh green onions before serving.
