Turkey Lettuce Wrap

STIR-FRIED TURKEY LETTUCE WRAP

Found in Everyday Food Mag HERE.

Yield: 4 servings (we ate two wraps each & caroline ate some meat)

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 teaspoons fish sauce
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped (a shallot is like an onion/garlic hybrid—FAB)
• 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small jalapeno or serrano chile, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey (93 percent lean)
• 2 large heads Bibb, Boston, or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Set sauce aside. (I doubled the sauce this time, but really did not need to)
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over high until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat skillet. Add shallot, ginger, garlic, and chile and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through, 5 minutes. Add half the sauce to skillet and stir until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with remaining sauce.
