Brown ground turkey with olive oil and seasonings(Turkey Ingredients) on a pan set at medium temperature. Mix well so all turkey is seasoned.

Notes
If you meal prep keep the slaw separate from turkey. When you heat it up, only heat up the turkey then mix with slaw to preserve the crunch and fresh flavors of the slaw. If you want extra protein, top with 3 tbsps of hemp seeds for an additional 10 grams of protein.
