Try making “Crack Slaw” for a Quick, Low-Carb Dinner
You may remember my loaded cabbage slaw recipe. If you liked it, you need to try crack slaw! The loaded slaw recipe is made with raw coleslaw. “Crack slaw” differs in that it is cooked in a skillet and is a bit like eating an egg roll in a bowl without the fried shell.
The recipe below is inspired by this recipe from Genius Kitchen. However, I tweaked that recipe (used ground turkey instead of beef, left out any form of sweetener, etc.).
