Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps Recipe
15 mins prepServes 2
Super saucy ground turkey and vegetables in a sweet, tangy sauce comes together in 25 minutes and makes a perfect filling for lettuce cups. We love the leftovers packed for lunches!
0 In a small mixing bowl (or a mason jar with a lid), combine all ingredients for the sauce. Whisk or shake until smooth and evenly combined. (Sauce can be made up to a week ahead.)
2 Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and when it begins to shimmer, add the bell peppers and saute until tender, about 3 minutes.
3 Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart until nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes
7 Pour the sauce over the turkey and bring it to a simmer. Whisk together the water and the cornstarch and stir it into the sauce.
6 Continue simmering the turkey until the sauce is very thick and coats the turkey, 5 to 7 minutes more.
5 Move the pan off the heat and stir in the water chesnuts, chopped green onions and the juice of half of the lime wedges (save the rest to serve on the side of the lettuce wraps so you can add more lime juice at the table).
4 Set filling, lettuce cups, peanuts, and lime wedges on the table so that everyone can assemble their own wraps.
