You are in for a treat today! These Asian turkey cabbage cups are one of our favorites. Don’t let the long list of ingredients fool you, this recipe is super simple to toss together, which is a big part of why I love it! From start to finish it takes about 20 minutes tops. My kids get so excited when they hear we are making these, they can’t get enough!
Yum, yum, yum!
Two quick notes about this recipe. First, this is usually exactly enough to serve our family of 4, with a teeny bit left over for my husband’s lunch the next day. If you have big eaters or are feeding more people, double the recipe.
Second, I love to cook this in a 12-inch cast iron skillet, like this one. It is the perfect size! You can mix all the ingredients right in the skillet, which means only one pan to wash.

This looks and sounds really tasty, as well as healthy. We need to start doing this at my house, especially if it is indeed as healthy as it sounds! My son is a really big fan of different Asian food ever since his foods class at school made different dishes.
That is so great that your son is getting into cooking! Asian food is so tasty, and can be super healthy!
