Directions
- Wash and dry all fresh produce and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then swirl in a small amount of oil.
- Add garlic, ground turkey, and ground spices; break the turkey with a spoon and cook until browned and crumbly, 4–5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced ginger, tahini, oil, rice vinegar, water, soy sauce, and maple syrup to form a smooth sauce; set aside.
- Tear basil leaves from stems, roll leaves gently, and slice into ribbons; reserve a portion for garnish.
- In a bowl, grate the carrot and combine with the basil ribbons and broccoli slaw; toss to coat and blend.
- Slice cucumber into thin rounds.
- Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop out the flesh in thin slices from the skin.
- To assemble, divide the slaw mix between bowls, top with turkey, cucumber, and avocado, then sprinkle with reserved basil. Drizzle with the sesame-tahini sauce and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the slaw and sauce up to a day ahead and refrigerate to save time at dinner.
- Serve with extra rice vinegar for extra tang or swap in a splash of soy sauce for a soy-boosted finish.
