1 head green cabbage, thinly sliced (I did 1/2)
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 T. Sesame Oil
1/4 C. Soy Sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
2 T. chicken broth (I did beef, because that is what I had on hand)

I doubled the recipe above for my family of 6.

1.  Brown meat and drain
2.  Add oil and onion
3.  In a separate bowl mix soy sauce, garlic and ginger
4.  Add sauce from #3 to meat/onion mix
5.  Add cabbage and broth
Cook for 3 minutes (I cooked longer than that)

*Optional--garnish with green onion

Ground Chicken Pizza Crust (Keto-Low Carb-Gluten Free)

This is a pizza crust substitute that is high in protein and low in carbs.  It is very filling.

1 1/4 pound ground chicken, raw (I did 1 lb ground turkey)
1/3 C. fresh parmesan, shredded
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic salt (or regular salt)
2 tsp italian seasoning

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2.  Line large cookie sheet or pizza pan with parchment
3.  Spray parchment with cooking spray
4.  In a medium bowl combine the chicken, cheese and spices.  Mix until well incorporated.
5.  Spread the chicken mixture on the parchment in a thin layer
6.  Bake for 20 minutes
7.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  (I did not cool mine)
8.  Refrigerate or freeze if not going to use imediately.
9.  To make pizza, add sauce and toppings and bake 10 more minutes until cheese is melted.

Using the ground turkey as listed above it was 2.54 net carbs for the entire crust.
