Directions

• Put rice in a skillet or wok and dry heat (without oil) at medium heat. Mix frequently until rice takes a nice amber color for approximately 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then crush rice in a coffee grinder, a small mixer or with a mortar and pestle, until you obtain a fine powder.

• Meanwhile, cook the ground turkey with a bit of water at medium high heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Once the turkey is opaque and cooked, add fish sauce, sugar, spicy powder, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of roasted rice powder. Mix well.

• In a bowl, put onion, boiling water, and vinegar. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.

• Lay turkey over lettuce leaves. Add vegetables, pickled onions and fresh herbs. Top with peanuts or cashew nuts, if desired.
