I've jotted down the basic recipe to a meal we enjoy. I usually adjust it to taste as I cook. I eat this in lettuce cups but I also serve it over brown rice or with noodles. I adapted the dipping sauce from another recipe because it like so much.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • scallions, coarsely chopped (green and white parts)4
  • fresh ginger (2-inch piece peeled and grated or finely chopped)
  • cup green cabbage (thinly sliced)1 cup
  • jalapeno pepper, finely chopped and halved1
  • garlic cloves, minced2
  • tablespoons hoisin sauce2 tablespoons
  • teaspoon hot chili sauce1 -2 teaspoon
  • tablespoons low sodium soy sauce3 tablespoons
  • tablespoon low sodium soy sauce1 tablespoon
  • cup low sodium soy sauce1⁄3 cup
  • tablespoons cilantro leaves3 -4 tablespoons
  • limes (zest and juice of 2 limes)2
  • lb ground turkey1 lb
  • tablespoon vegetable oil1 tablespoon
  • teaspoon dark sesame oil1 teaspoon
  • tablespoon honey1

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large pan. When hot add ground turkey and stir fry it for 5 minutes. Add Hoisin sauce, hot chili sauce and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Continue to stir fry until almost cooked through. (I use the pampered chef tool to break up the meat into small pieces).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the scallions, half of the ginger, cabbage, half of the chili pepper, the garlic, the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the lime zest.

  3. 3

    Add vegetable bowl mixture to wok and continue to stir fry until cooked but still slightly crisp.

  4. 4

    While the turkey and vegetables cook, make the dipping sauce. In a bowl, combine the remaining ginger and chili pepper, the 1/3 cup of soy sauce, the lime juice, the sesame oil, the honey and a splash of water. Taste and adjust the seasoning; if it's too salty, add another drizzle of honey.

  5. 5

    Before serving the meat stir in the cilantro leaves.

  6. 6

    Garnish with extra cilantro leaves and serve with the spicy lime dipping sauce.

  7. 7

    Wrap in lettuce cups or serve over noodles or rice.
