Turkey Lettuce Wraps | Canadian Turkey

Ingredients

canola or vegetable oil, for cooking
sesame oil, for cooking
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 lb ground turkey
2 Tbsp. soy sauce (or to taste)
a small handful of cilantro, chopped (optional)
a few green onions, chopped
1/2 cup hoisin sauce (or to taste)
chopped peanuts, for serving
small red or green leaf or butter lettuce leaves, for serving

Lettuce wraps are fast, easy and inexpensive, and incredibly versatile - they’re perfect summer patio food - if you like, set out extra cilantro, chopped peanuts and a bottle of sriracha for everyone to add their own.

Directions

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of canola and sesame oil and sauté the pepper for a few minutes, until starting to soften.
Add the turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon until it’s no longer pink. Add the soy sauce, cilantro and onions to the pan and cook, breaking everything up and stirring to combine until everything is cooked and any excess moisture has cooked off. Add the hoisin sauce and stir to heat through.
Serve the turkey mixture in a bowl, topped with peanuts, with lettuce leaves to wrap, roll and eat. If you like, serve extra cilantro and peanuts alongside for people to add to their lettuce wraps.
