Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 (2-inch) piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
Directions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Start by mincing the garlic cloves. Peel the ginger piece and mince until you have about 2 tablespoons. Coarsely chop the toasted cashews and the fresh cilantro. Gently remove about 10 leaves from the head of butter lettuce, ensuring they remain intact for wrapping.
- Cook Garlic and Ginger: Heat the toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until they become fragrant, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until it’s thoroughly browned and cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add Final Touches: Stir in the toasted cashews, hoisin sauce, and tamari or soy sauce. Once everything is well combined, remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the chopped cilantro.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the turkey mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. The lettuce cups should be generous but manageable to hold and eat.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your turkey wraps fresh and warm straight from the skillet!
