Lettuce Wraps

Yummy and fairly low-cal, the key to this dish is to use the right lettuce. After several failed attempts using cabbage (learned that you have to steam it first), bib (too floppy), and iceberg (couldn’t get a decent leaf from the head), I finally found success with butter lettuce.  The leaves turned out to be the perfect little cups.  I also made some brown rice to serve under (or over) the meat.

Ingredients

  • Butter lettuce leaves (rinsed & dried)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 T oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 T vinegar
  • Asian chili pepper sauce (optional, to taste)
  • 1 bunch green onions (chopped)
  • 2 T sesame oil

 

Directions

1.  Brown ground turkey over medium-high heat with 1T oil.  When fully cooked, drain & remove from pan.

2. Using the same pan, add onions & stir fry for 1-2 minutes.  Add garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar & chili pepper sauce.  Stir to mix.  Add green onions & sesame oil.  Add sauce mixture to ground turkey, mix well.

3. Add a spoonful of the meat mixture into the center of each leaf, wrap like a burrito and enjoy!
