Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Saute turkey, carrot, green onions, bell pepper, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute until turkey is evenly browned with no pink, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the turkey is cooling, combine soy sauce, water, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and sugar for sauce in a small pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Make lettuce wraps by placing about 2 tablespoons rice and 2 tablespoons meat mixture in each lettuce leaf. Roll leaves and serve with warm sauce for dipping.
