Ingredients

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 6 tbsp tamari
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup sriracha
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 limes 1 juiced, 1 sliced in wedges
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 in ginger minced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms chopped
  • 1.5 lbs ground turkey 85% lean 15% fat
  • 1 package butter lettuce
  • Cooked rice optional
  • Cilantro and lime for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the spicy sauce by adding the honey, tamari, chicken broth, siracha, ketchup, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and lime to a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

  2. In a large pan, add sesame oil, olive oil, ginger, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until translucent and fragrant.

  3. Next, turn up the heat to high and add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Continue to sauté for about 10 minutes, until vegetables are soft and most of the liquid has cooked off the vegetables.

  4. Add the ground turkey to the pan. Continue to cook in the pan until meat has cooked through and is no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes.

  5. Once turkey is cooked, add the spicy sauce to the pan. Keep cooking the mixture on high, constantly stirring with a rubber spatula until most of the liquid is cooked off, and the mixture becomes thick and sticky. This should take about 10 minutes.

  6. Assemble lettuce wraps. Place 3-4 lettuce leaves on a plate, add some rice if using, then add the ground turkey mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and fresh lime juice.
