Recently, Target has been my favorite store to buy meat. If you happen to be at Target, be sure to check their meat department and look at the expiration date on the meat packages . A couple days before the meat reaches expiration, it will be on sale at about 75% off! That in itself is worth reading this post right?
Twice a week, I’d show up at the store and check on the next expiration date on the meat packages so I know when to return to the store. I usually get just enough meat to last through a week; I prepare the meat and marinate it on the same day, then freeze it to keep it fresh.
Ground Turkey happened to be the meat that I got at deep discount. I had never cooked ground turkey as it’s never been my favorite meat but since it was such a steal I had to try a new recipe with it. I made Taco with ground turkey. It was wonderful. I also made Turkey Lettuce Wraps and it sat yummy in everyone’s tummy. It was a hit!
Turkey Lettuce Wraps make a wonderful healthy appetizer. I love using the crispy Iceberg or Butter lettuce leaves to wrap everything from grilled beef to grilled shrimps as they maintain a cool, crisp and fresh taste in your mouth. This Turkey Lettuce Wrap is packed with a juicy, flavorful ground turkey surrounded in the sweet, crunchy freshness of shredded carrot and cilantro and topped with roasted peanuts.
RECIPE: Turkey Lettuce Wraps
about 1.25 pounds Ground Turkey
3 tablespoons Lab Namtok Seasoning
2 1/2 tablespoons Fish Sauce
1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
4 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (ot bot), optional
2 tablespoons Annatto Oil, (Dầu Hạt Điều) click here for recipe
Condiments
1 Iceberg or Butter Lettuce
1 Carrot, shredded
Roasted Peanut
a bunch Cilantro, cut into 3 inch segments
*
Preparing Lettuce
Remove the lettuce core with a pairing knife. Then use your hand to separate the leaves apart. Rinse the leaves then shake the water off each leaf. Blot the lettuce dry with paper towel . Set aside.
*
Sauteing Ground Turkey
In a pan over high heat, add annatto oil when the pan is getting hot. Stir in garlic and onion. Stir until fragrant.
Add turkey, lab namtok seasoning, fish sauce, ground pepper and chili powder if you want to spice it up. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked, about 2 minutes.
*
Arrange lettuce leaves, roasted peanut, cilantro, and shredded carrot on a large serving platter. Pile turkey in the center or place meat in a separate shadow plate. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Squeeze a bit of lime/lemon juice. Fold the lettuce around the meat like a taco. Be careful this wrap may be too healthy for you!
