Instructions

  1. Add vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Microwave for 2-3 minutes on high. Stir mixture until sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Place vegetables in a medium glass bowl, add garlic, jalapeño and ginger. Pour brine over vegetables to cover them. Let brine mixture cool to room temperature and refrigerate 1 hour to chill.
  3. Make dipping sauce by combining ginger, garlic soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and scallions in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
  4. Spray a 10" skillet with vegetable spray and heat over medium high heat, add sesame oil and tilt to coat the pan. Add turkey, browning and breaking up chunks with the back of a fork or spoon as it cooks. Add onion, kale and garlic, continue cooking until onion is softened and fragrant - about 2-3 minutes. Add soy sauce, hoisin and siracha, stir to combine.
  5. Carefully pull lettuce leaves from the core so they don't tear. Rinse and dry them with a salad spinner or paper towels.
  6. To assemble, scoop a medium spoonful of turkey mixture into a lettuce cup. Top with a few pickled vegetables and a drizzle of the sauce. Carefully fold the lettuce leaf over the filling and eat like a taco.
