Let’s dive into this simple, wholesome recipe that balances savory and zesty notes beautifully.

Ingredients

• 400g turkey breast fillet, cut into medallions
• 150g red cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1 green apple, julienned
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 15g fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, julienned apple, and sliced red onion.
2. Create the dressing by whisking together 1 tbsp olive oil, apple cider vinegar, half of the grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Pour over the slaw and toss to combine. Set aside.
3. Pat the turkey medallions dry. Season both sides with the minced garlic, the remaining grated ginger, and salt.
4. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the turkey medallions in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve the warm seared turkey medallions immediately with the crisp apple ginger slaw. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips & Substitutions

• Swap proteins: Chicken breast or pork tenderloin medallions also work beautifully with this slaw.
• Make ahead: The slaw tastes even better after chilling for an hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
• Boost freshness: Add a squeeze of lime juice to the slaw for an extra zesty kick.
