Ingredients:
romaine lettuce leaves ( cut in half horizontally)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
5 crushed garlic cloves
3 tablespoons finely diced peeled ginger ( fresh ginger is key to this recipe)
1/2 cup diced yellow onions
1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
1/2 cup diced yellow bell peppers
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sambal oelek ( or any other chili sauce that you prefer)
1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, plus extra for garnish
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup diced green onions
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Add the bell peppers and the turkey and cook until the turkey is almost cooked through and browned slightly, about 7 – 8 minutes. Add the hoison sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Let cook another 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce reduces. Remove from the heat.
Add the sesame oil, cilantro, pine nuts and green onion and stir to combine. To serve place a spoonful of the mixture in each lettuce leaf. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
