Today I want to share with you a new recipe that I just tried last night, Thai Lettuce Wraps! The recipe was featured on the Tone It Up site, it is delicious and man approved!
Here is the recipe:
Thai Lettuce Wraps
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 Tbs grapeseed oil
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- iceburg lettuce, washed & laid flat to dry
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (if you are gluten-free, use GF Tamari)
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce (if you are gluten-free, use GF hoisin sauce)
- sea salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste
Directions:
Heat oil over low-to-medium heat, add diced onions and peppers; cook for 2-4 minutes (or until onions are translucent). Add lean ground turkey, season to taste, and cook until turkey juices are well browned. Once turkey is cooked, add the soy sauce and hoisin sauce to the pan and mix well. Turn off stovetop and set mixture aside to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, line a tray with flat, washed pieces of iceberg lettuce. Wraps can be small or large depending on the size of your lettuce leaves. Each "portion" should contain about 4 oz of ground turkey. This dish pairs well with dark leafy green veggies like bok choy, kale, broccoli and spinach!
Nutrition Facts:
At 400 calories per serving, these wraps provide 55 grams of protein and just 20 grams of carbohydrate.
So once again, when going through this recipe, I realized that I left a few things out. I did not add the paprika or garlic powder. Moral of the story? I should pay more attention to recipes, but it was still delicious! Instead of grapeseed oil, I used almond oil because I had it on hand. You can really use any kind of oil, but keep in mind that the calorie content will change with that.
