1. Introduction:

Asian Lettuce Wraps offer a delightful combination of savory fillings and crisp lettuce cups, creating a light yet satisfying dish. Perfect as an appetizer or a light meal, these wraps are bursting with fresh flavors and textures.

2. Required Ingredients:

• broccoli slaw
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 2 Tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• Green leaf lettuce
• 1-2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1-1/4 pounds (20 ounces) extra-lean ground turkey
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 Tablespoon orange marmalade, or 2 Tablespoons orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon tapioca starch
• 1 Tablespoons Thai fish sauce

3. Step-by-Step Instructions:

Begin by cooking the ground meat with aromatic spices and sauces until well-browned and flavorful. Spoon the mixture into lettuce cups, and garnish with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Step 1: Brown the turkey and garlic

In a skillet, combine ground turkey and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the turkey with a spatula or potato masher as it browns. Avoid adding salt; the fish sauce will provide sufficient sodium. In a separate bowl, whisk together the stock, aminos, fish sauce, marmalade, lime juice, sesame oil, ground ginger, and tapioca starch until well combined.

Step 2: Simmer in sauce until thickened

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the browned turkey. Stir well to combine. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Serve and enjoy!

Spoon the turkey mixture into large green lettuce leaves. Top with broccoli slaw for added crunch and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish.

4. Serving Suggestions

Serve the lettuce wraps as an appetizer or a light meal. Garnish with chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sriracha for added flavor and texture. Pairs well with green tea or a light Asian beer.
