This is a great recipe! I had it for lunch today, and I saw Formby and Nathan drooling over it in the trainer's room. It was easy to make and awesome to eat.
Asian Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. instant brown rice
2 t. sesame oil
1 pound ground turkey breast
2 t. ground ginger
1 red bell pepper
1 8oz. can water chestnuts
1/2 c. reduced sodium chicken broth
2 T. hoison sauce (I found this in the asian section at HEB)
1/2 t. salt
2 heads boston lettuce
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro and green onions
Preparation:
1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
3. Prep other ingredients while meat and rice are cooking.
4. Stir in the cooked rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
5. To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and roll into wraps.
