Turkey Larb Lettuce Wraps

Course: Dinner
Cuisine: Thai
Author: Gaby

Ingredients

For the Turkey

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 6 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoons sambal oleek
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Garnish

  • Lettuce cups a few heads of butter lettuce
  • Thinly sliced red onions
  • Fresh mint
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • In a large heavy bottom pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add the ground turkey and using the back of a wooden spoon, break the meat apart and let cook until no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes, making sure to sauté frequently to ensure even cooking.
  • Once the turkey has cooked, add the garlic and green onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, sambal oleek and brown sugar and stir to combine. Season with salt as needed and reduce heat to low and simmer until ready to use.  
  • To assemble, place equal amounts of the turkey larb mixture into a lettuce leaf, about 1/4 cup per lettuce leaf. Top with the assorted garnishes and serve immediately.
