Lettuce

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground turkey or ground chicken
• 6 green onions, chopped (plus more for serving)
• 1 small can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 garlic scapes, chopped (optional)
• ¼ cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 head of butterhead lettuce
• Salted cashews
• Dipping Sauce:
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
• 1/2 tsp. sesame oil

Instructions

• In a large saucepan, over medium high heat brown the turkey until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add in the green onions, water chestnuts, pepper and garlic scapes. Reduce the heat to medium and let cook while you mix the sauce.
• In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin, soy sauce, oil, ginger and water. Pour over the meat mixture and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the mixture comes to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• While the meat mixture is coming to a boil, whisk together the ingredients for the dipping sauce: soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger and oil.
• Rinse the lettuce leaves with water, pat dry with paper towel.
• To serve; spoon some of the meat mixture onto a lettuce leave and “wrap” it together. Serve with green onions, cashews and the dipping sauce.
