Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 20 ounces super-lean ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups seeded and diced cucumber
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews
  • 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced OR Sriracha sauce to taste
  • Juice of 2 limes (about 4 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 16 lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or trimmed iceberg lettuce leaves work great)

Instruction

  • In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cover and refrigerate until dinner time or allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • When ready to cook, heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey mixture until it’s browning and crumbly.
  • While the turkey is cooking, combine the limes, soy sauce, brown sugar, and, if using it, Sriracha to taste. Set aside.
  • Place the remaining ingredients  in a large bowl. When the turkey is done cooking, add it to the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with the sauce and toss to combine. Serve immediately in leaves of lettuce. Makes 4 large servings.
