Ingredients:

• ⅓ cup soy sauce or Tamari gluten-free
• 1-2 tsp. Sriracha sauce (optional for heat)
• 1 tsp. ginger (powder or freshly grated)
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp. honey or brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 cloves garlic crushed or minced
• ½ cup carrots matchstick carrots
• Lettuce wraps, rinsed well and dried (romaine or butterleaf work best)
• ½ cup crushed peanuts
• Cabbage, chopped thinly
• Green onions, diced
• Lime wedges for serving

Directions:

In a medium-sized bowl combine all sauce ingredients: soy sauce/Tamari, sriracha (optional), ginger, lime juice, honey/brown sugar and whisk until combined. Set aside.

In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat and add ground turkey meat. Toss until meat is almost cooked through, making sure to break down the meat into crumble-like sizes. Add carrot sticks and continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the turkey mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Pour your sauce mixture and reduce heat on low, bringing all ingredients to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.

Place a layer of the shredded cabbage on the lettuce wraps and top with the warm ground turkey mixture.

Garnish with peanuts, green onions and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
