This has been a crazy week for me. I have been in rehearsals and now performances of Carmina Burana with the MN Orchestra. (FYI - there are still tickets for performances on Saturday and Sunday) Since I am singing, I do not want to have a heavy dinner. It just makes the high notes flat! So I am opting for a more substantial late lunch. I love Thai food and have been craving it but since it can be heavy I felt inspired to create these lettuce wraps.
Thai Inspired Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
1 tsp ginger (grated on a microplane)
2 cloves garlic (grated on a microplane)
2 tsps of red chili paste (I used Thai Kitchen Roasted Red Chili Paste) (feel free to add more)
1 lb ground turkey breast
Canola Oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan
For the wrap
Romaine Lettuce Leaves
Cilantro
Radishes sliced
Fresh Lime
In a medium skill, add the oil, ginger, garlic and chili paste. Stir until the oil gets slightly hot and the items are combined. Add in the turkey. Mix thoroughly and cook until all the turkey is cooked through.
When cooked ensemble on a lettuce leaf, meat, radishes, cilantro and squeeze the lime. Now all you need to do is enjoy.

Sounds delish! I'm going to try this with ground venison.
ReplyDeleteI think it would also be good with pork but my other half doesn't do pork.
ReplyDeleteNeither does mine! Since he's a hunter, he knows the venison is organic, so he'll do that.

Love the flavor profile of these lettuce wraps.
ReplyDeleteOne of your photos is not loading right for me -- it's too wide for the space -- you might want to try resizing it so it doesn't distort your columns. It's easy to do with blogger. If you need help let me know (you can email me through my blogger profile)
