Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (lean, juicy healthy dinner idea)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (for that authentic Korean flavor)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium works great)
- 2 tbsp gochujang (for a bold sweet and spicy sauce)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional heat boost)
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp mayo (for creamy slaw vibes)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 8–10 slider buns (soft, fluffy easy party food)
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant. Toss in the ground turkey and cook until browned.
- Stir in soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Let it simmer until thick and glossy.
- In a bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, green onions, mayo, and sesame seeds. Toss until lightly coated.
- Spoon the saucy turkey generously onto the bottom halves of the buns. Top with crunchy slaw and place the sesame bun tops on.
- Serve warm with extra green onions or a drizzle of sauce.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
- Adjust sriracha to control the heat level.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
