Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Prep time 10 minutes
Cook time 15 minutes
Total time 25 minutes
Meal type Main Dish
Slightly adapted from recipe on My Recipes
These Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps are fast to put together and are full of flavor. Serve on large lettuce leaves with a spoonful of fried rice for a very satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Package ground turkey breast (approximately 1-1/4 lbs.)
  • 1 Teaspoon grated ginger (fresh or minced ginger in the jar)
  • 1/2 Cup finely diced carrots
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons minced fresh mint (you can also use bottled dried mint leaves)
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 Large jalapeno, chopped (remove seeds and rib first)
  • 12 Or so large lettuce leaves (iceberg, bibb or romaine are my favorites)

Note

We love to put a spoonful of Wench Fried Rice in these lettuce wraps before adding the turkey mixture.  We also enjoy drizzling a little House of Tsang Classic Stir-Fry Sauce over the top.  Hoisin sauce is delicious too!

This is a very satisfying, yet light, meal.  Enjoy!

Directions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add turkey, ginger and carrots. Cook until turkey is done.
Add remaining ingredients up through jalapeno.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of turkey mixture into lettuce leaf. Enjoy!
