Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 large carrots peeled and grated
  • 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
For the Sauce:
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter*
  • 2 Tbsp liquid aminos or coconut aminos
  • 1 Tbsp red curry paste**
  • 1 tsp fish sauce optional
For Serving:
  • 1 head butter leaf lettuce
  • 1 bunch green onion chopped
  • 1/3 cup raw or roasted cashews optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the sauce by stirring the ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Set aside until ready to use. 
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Scoot the onion off to the sides and place the ground turkey in the middle of the skillet. Allow it to brown for 2 minutes per side before using a spatula to chop it into bite sized pieces.
  4. Stir the grated carrot and sliced cabbage into the ground turkey mixture.
  5. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables have reached your desired level of doneness.
  6. Stir in the chopped green onion and cashews (if adding).
  7. Wash the butter leaf lettuce well and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place lettuce cups on a plate and fill them with the Thai turkey filling. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter
  • **green curry paste or yellow curry paste work too.
  • Store any leftover Thai Ground Turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
