Healthy Asian Lettuce Wraps

Hey guys!! I've been trying to eat healthier recently so I've been trying a bunch of different recipes. I came up with this recipe which combines my love for asian inspired food but with a healthy twist!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb ground turkey (you can use any ground beef you like)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup onion, roughly chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

About a 1-inch piece of ginger, diced

5 tablespoons of hoisin sauce (found in the asian isle in the grocery store, it is like an asian BBQ sauce)

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Bibb Lettuce (Boston Lettuce also works wonderfully)

Toppings:

(feel free to use whatever you like)

Shredded carrots

Roughly chopped peanuts

Toasted sesame seeds

Chopped green onions

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium pan. Add the ground turkey (or whatever meat you are using) and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart with the back of a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scoop out and set aside on a separate plate. 

In the same pan, cook the onions, garlic and ginger for 3-4 minutes. Add the meat back into the pan with the onions, garlic and ginger.

Stir in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce and cook everything together for a few minutes

To serve, place the meat mixture in a lettuce cup and top with your favorite toppings.
