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.
