For a while I've been craving new recipes but haven't had time to do the research. Not only do I need recipes that are healthy, but I need something that Mark will eat and will satisfy both of our picky habits. On Monday I really wanted Asian food and decided to take 2 minutes to search AllRecipes.com rather than stop by LeeAnn Chin for dinner on the way home. I found a recipe that sounded interesting, and it turned out AMAZING!!! Below is my version, because I don't like rice and couldn't find the chili paste that was listed.
1lb ground turkey
1 pack green onions, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, finely diced (I used a garlic press)
1/4 red pepper, finely diced
2 carrots, shredded
3T hoisen sauce
2T soy sauce
1tsp sesame oil
Chili powder
1 head iceberg lettuce
In a large wok, brown the turkey, onions, and garlic. Stir frequently until cooked through.
Add carrots, red pepper, hoisen sauce, and soy sauce. Heat until warmed through.
Remove from heat. Add sesame oil and some chili powder and stir.
Spoon mixture onto individual lettuce leaves and wrap the leaves around the meat. Enjoy!
It's a little messy, but delicious!
Note: I took leftovers to work today. While they heated up fine, I was a disaster at the table so you may not want to eat this in public. Try if you dare, but don't say I didn't attempt to save you from public humiliation!
