Description

A flavorful and spicy low-carb dinner!

Ingredients

  • 1  Large Head Iceberg Lettuce
  • 1 Tablespoon Grape Seed Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1  Small Red Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly Grated)
  • 1  Jalapeño, Seeded And Diced
  • 2  Medium Carrots, Peeled And Shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 5  Green Onions, Sliced Thinly, White And Light Green Parts Only
  • Cilantro For Garnish
  • 1  Lime

Preparation

With a paring knife, remove the core from the bottom side of the lettuce. Peel away the outer layer of lettuce and discard. Gently peel away the layers of lettuce, being careful not to tear them. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Add the onions and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, jalapeño, and carrots. Cook for another 2 minutes. Mix in the Chinese five spice, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce. Cook until soy sauce has been absorbed, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Scoop meat mixture into the lettuce cups, doubling up lettuce cups if they are too thin. Garnish with green onions, cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Serves 4-6.

I made these for my coworkers for our potluck St. Patty’s meal today. Cooked last night and warmed up in microwave. Tasty and easy. Rated a four because I couldn’t locate the Chinese five spice ingredient in my area. Left it out. Added a bit of ceyanne pepper and a bit more red pepper flakes. Also left off the cilantro since I didn’t have another recipe in the wings to use up the leftover cilantro. Will definitely make again. Thank you for posting!
