INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked Food With Purpose Medley of Rice & Ancient Grains
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey
2 tsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp red chili garlic sauce
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
STEPS
- Cook the Medley of Rice & Ancient Grains according to the package instructions.
- While the rice cooks heat the 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and add the onion, sautéing for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and the green peppers and continue to sauté for 2 more minutes.
- Add the ground turkey, fresh lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce and continue cooking until the turkey is browned.
- Mix the rice into the turkey mixture along with the fresh cilantro and green onions and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Thai turkey mixture with crisp bibb lettuce and extra cilantro, matchstick carrots and unsalted peanuts for garnish.
Notes: Serving size is 1 3/4 cup of the turkey mixture and 4 Bibb lettuce leaves. You would use a little less than 1/2 cup of the mixture in each piece of lettuce. Leftovers for these Thai Turkey Brown Rice Lettuce Wraps are just as good as the first day! The flavors really meld together a day or two later.
