INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin coconut or avocado oil
  • 1 cup Shitake or white mushrooms, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. almond butter (no sugar added)
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

  • 1/4-1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 head of Bibb, Butter or Romaine Lettuce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cook turkey in skillet with oil, until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Add mushrooms, almond butter, vinegar, celery, garlic, ginger, Tamari and red-pepper flakes.
  2. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, for about 4 minutes. Add green onions, stir and remove from heat, letting sit for a couple of minutes.
  3. Spoon mixture into lettuce leaves.

Options:

  • Although not Asian, chopped fresh tomato or avocado tastes great on top
  • Tear lettuce, spooning turkey mixture over the top to eat with a fork
  • Sprinkle with Frank’s Hot Sauce (most Siracha sauces contain sugar)
