1.25 lb ground turkey (93% lean recommended)

1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Add carrot, cabbage, soy sauce, and black pepper; stir to coat
