Even picky kids love these.
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minched
  • 1¼ pounds ground turkey or chicken
  • ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
  • 12 butter lettuce leaves, separated, washed and dried
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds to one minute. Add the ground turkey and continue to stir until the meat is cooked through, about seven minutes. Remove from heat and add the onion, brown sugar, cilantro, mint, lime juice, fish sauce, olive oil, sesame oil and jalapeño. Stir until combined. Place about 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture into each lettuce wrap and serve. My kids like it best with jasmine rice on the lettuce wrap. I like the rice on the side.
