Ingredients

Slaw

  • 1.5 cups finely shredded cabbage (I used a blend of green and red)
  • 0.5 cups grated carrots
  • 1 apple, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped thinly
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

Filling

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper, if desired, according to taste

Wrap

  • 8 large leaves Boston or Butter Lettuce

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, apple, and green onions in a large bowl. Toss with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Set aside for now.
  • Next, prepare the filling. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until almost browned, about 5 minutes, breaking apart clumps of meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Add the garlic and continue cooking another 1-2 minutes, until ground turkey is fully browned and garlic is fragrant.
  • Add hoisin sauce and rice wine vinegar; stir to combine well. Cook for 1 more minute then remove from heat. (If desired, season with salt and pepper - the hoisin generally adds enough saltiness though).
  • Set lettuce leaves on plates and fill with ground turkey mixture. Top with cabbage apple slaw and enjoy!
