HEALTHY AND FRESH LETTUCE WRAPS

We made these again tonight and I had to make a post so that I wouldn't forget the recipe! These are yummy. I just posted a blog for homemade hoisin sauce and it comes in handy for this recipe.

Enjoy :)

Sauce Recipe

3 T. hoisin sauce (an all-natural brand if you can find it)

1 T. soy sauce

1 T. sirarcha sauce or chilli sauce

1 T. ice vinegar

1 1/2 t. honey or agave

1 t. sesame oil

1/2 t. salt

Flling

1 T. grape seed

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 green onions, chopped

2 T. fresh grated ginger

1 c. shredded carrots, divided

1/2 c. minced onion

1/2 c. chopped red pepper

1/2 c. chopped yellow pepper

1 small green apple, peeled and shredded

1 lb. ground turkey or chicken

1/4 t. salt

1/2 c. corn

1 c. Extras (what ever you have the needs to be used up - go ahead and toss in zucchini, celery, jalapeno, it is not going to ruin it)

Instructions

- Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

In a wok, heat the grape seed oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, green onions and fresh ginger and saute for 1 minute. Add onion, peppers, apple, corn and half the shredded carrots and saute, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and salt and saute, breaking up the meat. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the meat is beginning to brown and is completely cooked through. . .
