Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 head butter lettuce or romaine
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 cup diced cucumber
2 green onions, sliced
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
2 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sesame oil and brown the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it cooks.
2. Stir in soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Cook until turkey is fully done and coated in the sauce. Set aside.
3. Wash and dry the lettuce. Julienne carrots, shred cabbage, dice cucumber, and slice green onions and jalapeños.
4. Assemble your bowl starting with lettuce, followed by turkey, and top with your prepared veggies.
5. For the sauce (optional), mix soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, and chili flakes. Drizzle over the bowl before serving.
Notes
If you want added crunch, top with crushed peanuts or crispy wonton strips.
For a bolder flavor, marinate the turkey with the sauce for 10 minutes before cooking.
Keep veggies and turkey separate when storing to avoid sogginess.
