Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
These Asian turkey lettuce wraps are made with simple ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes in one pan, making it the perfect weeknight dinner option!
Equipment
- Medium skillet (preferably cast iron)
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1/4 red onion
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1 whole carrot chopped and halved
- 1 C edamame frozen
- 1/2 C corn frozen
- 1 package frozen cauliflower rice about 2 cups
- 1/4 C soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp butter can sub olive oil
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- garnish sesame seeds parsley
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the turkey over medium heat with a splash of soy sauce and 1/4 chopped red onion. As turkey cooks, chop your celery and carrot. Once cooked through, drain excess fat and set turkey aside on a plate.
- In the same pan that you prepared the turkey, add a splash of olive oil and your celery/carrots. Sauté over medium high heat until they are nearly tender - about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter and cauliflower rice into the pan. Allow to sizzle for a minute or so, then toss and repeat. This will create a nice cauli rice texture that mimics traditional fried rice. Repeat for about 3-5 minutes, until rice begins to brown. If the rice is sticking to the bottom of the pan too much, add a bit more olive oil.
- Add frozen corn, edamame, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Toss while it cooks to disperse flavors. Do this for a few minutes.
- Reincorporate turkey back into the pan along with any extra sauce/seasoning to taste. Toss as the mixture continues to sweat for a few more minutes. Then, remove from heat and serve as lettuce wraps or in bowls! Garnish with parsley, sesame seeds, green onion, and/or any of your favorite Asian dipping sauces!
