Lettuce Wraps


When I was 15 I worked in an architecture firm. One of the older architects took me under his wing and skooled me. I think he was bored with his job and was happy to not work and just talk to me all day. So one day he gave me this recipe and said, ‘When you are older and have children you should make them this recipe every week. It is easy and tasty and good for you.’ In some weird way it stuck with me and I carried that recipe with me all through college up and up til today. He was right. It is easy. And tasty.

ingredients:
16 large lettuce leaves
1 pound ground turkey
1 Tablespoon light soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 cup carrots, grated
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 cup mushrooms. sliced

sauce ingredients:
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon sugar

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves and set aside.

In a skillet over medium-high heat brown the ground turkey and add the 1 tablespoon soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Add the carrots, green onions and mushrooms until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink.

In a small bowl make the sauce by combining the soy sauce, water, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and sugar.

To serve, spoon the meat mixture into the lettuce leaves and add a spoonful of the sauce.
