Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 medium apple peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms chopped
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 medium zucchini squash chopped
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 large head green cabbage grated
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by grating the large head of green cabbage using a grater or a food processor. This will serve as your base for the bowls, mimicking the texture of rice. Set it aside for later.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Next, stir in the minced garlic and chopped apple, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Incorporate the chopped mushrooms and zucchini squash into the skillet. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, ground ginger, and sea salt. Sauté everything together for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
  • Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the turkey is cooked through, fold in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the grated cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Season with additional sea salt if desired and cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Scoop the mixture into bowls, and enjoy your Ground Turkey Bowls with Cabbage Rice while it’s warm. This dish is perfect on its own, but feel free to top it with avocado slices or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick!
