- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- ½ teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
Main
- 1-2 teaspoons avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, and Chinese 5-spice powder. Whisk until well mixed, then set aside.
- Cook green onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of your chosen oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the ground meat: Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet. Break it up with a large wooden spoon and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
- Add slaw and sauce: Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in the broccoli slaw mix and the prepared sauce. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes until the slaw is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the dark green parts of the green onions. Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the mixture in bowls and garnish with optional black sesame seeds, sriracha, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro if desired.
