Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Turkey (93/7 blend)
  • 1 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 3 Green onions, white and green parts separated
  • 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 head Butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1/4 cup Crushed roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup Shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Lettuce. Separate the leaves of the butter lettuce and submerge them in a bowl of ice water.
  2. Whisk the Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, Sriracha, and toasted sesame oil. Mix until the peanut butter is fully integrated and velvety.
  3. Sear the Turkey. Heat the avocado oil in your skillet over medium high heat. Add the 1 lb ground turkey and leave it alone for 3 minutes until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom.
  4. Break and Brown. Use a spatula to break the turkey into small crumbles. Continue cooking until no pink remains and the meat is sizzle popping.
  5. Sauté Aromatics. Push the turkey to the sides and add the garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, and the white parts of the green onions to the center.
  6. Infuse Flavors. Stir the aromatics for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  7. Glaze the Mixture. Pour the prepared sauce over the turkey and vegetables.
  8. Thicken the Sauce. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and clings tightly to the meat.
  9. Assemble the Bowls. Pat the lettuce leaves dry. Spoon the turkey mixture into the center of each leaf.
  10. Garnish and Serve. Top with crushed peanuts, shredded carrots, cilantro, and the green parts of the onions. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
