Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) ground turkey
- 1 red pepper, cored and diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tbsp ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup red lentils
- 1/4 cup cilantro stems
- 1/3 hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2-3 green onions, chopped
- 1 head lettuce
- chopped peanuts for garnish
- fresh cilantro for garnish
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a drizzle of oil over medium high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the ground turkey and red pepper and cook, breaking up with a spoon until the meat is no longer pink.
Step 2
Add the garlic, ginger, cilantro, and lentils and cook, stirring for a 1 minute.
Step 3
Add 1/3 cup (75 mL) water and simmer for 10 minutes, until the lentils are tender, any excess moisture is evaporated, and the meat has started to brown.
Step 4
Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and green onions. Cook for another minutes or two, stirring to coat everything well and heat through.
Step 5
Core the head of lettuce, separating the leaves, and serve the turkey lentil mixture in a bowl, family-style, with lettuce leaves and your choice of garnishes.
