Thai-Inspired Lettuce Wraps

I wanted to make something that would be really easy, quick, and would fit my macros on either a rest day or a lifting day.  And filling.  I get so hungry in the evenings, that I need something that’s going to fill my belly and sate my hunger while still allowing me to stay on track.  Some of the ingredients are approximate.  I don’t normally really meausure out when I create dishes on my own, I just eyeball stuff.  I know my directions aren’t super fancy, I’m not super awesome with words. LOL

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 lbs ground turkey (I used Jennie O)
  • 2 tbsp ginger paste
  • 2 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1/4 soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (I like PB2 but JIF  has one as well that is good)
  • 1 bag of coleslaw mix
  • Siracha sauce

Directions

  1. Add the oil to a hot pan and sautee the onion until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger paste and stir to distribute.  Then add turkey and brown.
  3. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and siracha.  Stir into the turkey mixture.  Also add the peanut butter powder and siracha.
  4. Finally, add the coleslaw mix and sautee until soft.  Serve in “bowls” of butter lettuce and garnish with some extra siracha.
