About the Recipe

Sautéed ground turkey and bell pepper simmered in a chili-soy sauce, candied peanuts for another layer of crunch, and cilantro for even more green freshness placed in crisp romaine leaves.

Ingredients

10 ounce Ground Turkey

1 Baby Lettuce

4 tablespoon Sweet Soy Glaze (Contains: Soy, Wheat)

1 ounce Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (Contains: Soy)

1 Lime

¼ ounce Cilantro

1 Bell Pepper

1 Yellow Onion

½ ounce Peanuts (Contains: Peanuts) OPTIONAL

1 tablespoon Cooking Oil

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 tablespoon Butter (Contains: Milk)

Salt

Pepper


Preparation


1

• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and finely dice bell pepper. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.

2

• Heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.

3

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. Transfer veggies to a plate. • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes. Break up meat into pieces and continue cooking until turkey is cooked through, 2-4 minutes. • Return veggies to pan. Stir in sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until mixture is thoroughly coated, 2-3 minutes more. • Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice to taste.

4

• Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with turkey mixture. Garnish with candied peanuts and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. TIP: Alternatively, serve turkey mixture, candied peanuts, and cilantro in separate bowls and let everyone assemble their own wraps!
