Method 4 steps
In a large pan, heat 15 mL (1 tbsp) oil over medium heat. Add turkey and cumin and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring to break up the meat as it browns. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 74 °C (165 °F). Set turkey aside in a plate.
Add remaining oil, carrot and onion. Cook for 2 minutes.
Add cayenne, cabbage and garlic and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until soft.
Add soy sauce, ketchup, green beans, and corn and return cooked turkey to the pan. Stir well. Cook for 5 minutes.
