Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or organic coconut oil
  • 1 pound organic ground turkey
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, sliced thinly
  • 8 carrots, chopped into coins or shredded
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1½ Tbsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
  • ¾ cup canned full fat, unsweetened coconut milk
  • 5 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup brown rice
Instructions
  1. In a sauce pan, add 2½ cups water and 1 cup brown rice to a boil.
  2. Once boiling reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large pot on medium heat, add olive or coconut.
  4. Next add ground turkey and brown the meal for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cabbage [I like to put a lid on at this point for a few minutes to let the cabbage steam and begin to cook].
  6. Remove lid and continue stirring mixture until cabbage has completely cooked down.
  7. Next add carrots and all the spices.
  8. Stir to combine mixture well. Cook for about 5 minutes to allow carrots to soften slightly.
  9. Last add coconut milk, bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  10. Combine brown rice and turkey/cabbage mixture.
  11. Top with fresh sliced green onions. Enjoy!
