Ingredients
- For the sauce:
- 11/2 tsp. hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp. soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. rice wine vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. Sriracha hot sauce
- For the filling:
- 2 tsp. canola oil
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 lb. ground turkey or chicken
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (I used frozen peas and carrots, diced red pepper and onion)
- 1/2 green apple, finely chopped
- To assemble:
- Butter lettuce leaves, washed and separated
- Shredded carrots for topping (optional)
Directions
-
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and mix to blend.
-
To make the filling, heat a skillet on high heat with cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, add the garlic, ginger and green onions to the pan, and stir fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant. Add the ground turkey or chicken, breaking into small pieces, and cook until almost cooked through. Add the vegetables to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes. Mix in the sauce and cook for about 1 minute until thickened slightly. Add the apples to the pan and toss to coat. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
-
Serve the filling in lettuce “cups” and top with shredded carrots, if desired.
