Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients: 1 ½ tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin, 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp white sugar, ½ tsp chili oil, and ¼ tsp roasted sesame oil. Whisk until it’s completely incorporated. Set aside.
- In a saute pan, heat neutral oil over medium heat. Add the 1 c diced yellow onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly translucent.
- Add the 1 c diced brown mushrooms and ¼ c diced carrots. Saute for another 2-3 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened.
- Add the 1 tbsp minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Add the 1 lb ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the meat is browned and opaque. I like to break it up with my hands as I add it but you can do it with a spatula too.
- Add the ¼ c diced water chestnuts and stir to incorporate. Saute for 30 seconds.
- Pour the seasoning and stir thoroughly. Saute for another 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
- Taste test the meat and adjust if necessary.
- To assemble, take one leaf of lettuce and add one scoop of seasoned turkey. Top with optional toppings like julienned mango, sliced green onions, and fried shallots. Wrap the sides of the lettuce over the center and eat it like a taco. You have the option to add hot sauce or use a dipping sauce like roasted peanuts. You can also squeeze extra lime wedges on top or use your favorite dipping sauce.
