Lettuce Wraps with Turkey, Almond, Red Bell Pepper & Cilantro Filling

1. Dice onion, cilantro leaves and red bell pepper. Leave aside.

2. Mince garlic.

3. Prepare sauce. In a small bowl, add Hoisin sauce, Sambal and sesame seeds, and mix together. Leave aside.

4. In a large saute pan or wok, over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add garlic and saute for about 15 seconds. Add ground turkey, salt and pepper. Stir and break up the meat as it cooks. Once turkey is fully cooked and browned, transfer it to a bowl.

5. Drain any extra liquid from the turkey out of the pan.

6. In the same hot pan, add a little extra oil. Add bell pepper and onion, and saute for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are wilted but still retain a little crunch.

7. Add turkey and sauce. Toss and cook until sauce covers turkey and vegetables. Finally add almonds and cilantro. Give a final toss so all the flavors come together.

8. On a plate, place a lettuce leaf. With a spoon, place some of the filling in the leaf. With your hand, fold the lettuce over the filling and pop it in your mouth.
