This one is a favorite of mine! I love the flavors and it seems like a fancier meal but it really is not so don't get scared away by lettuce wraps.
Asian Lettuce Wraps
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 onion chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp ground ginger
lettuce
****The rice wine vinegar and sesame oil is found near the asian/chinese section at wall mart. These will last long time and you will use them for more dishes than you realize once you have them on hand.
Brown the turkey and onion together in the olive oil. Once browned add all the other ingredients and mix well. When ready scoop into the lettuce leaves that you have washed and add a dash of siracha sauce on top for some kick if you want. Sirachca is a another item that comes in really handy and it does not take much at all to add just a little bit of a kick.
This is great as an appetizer if alone but if you plan to use as a main meal then my suggestion is to serve it with brown rice and add a dash of soy sauce in the rice. Then think about this super side listed below! Simple and cheap addition to round of the meal.
Asian Roasted Carrots and Broccoli
1 bag frozen broccoli
1/2 small bag of baby carrots
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
In a pan add broccoli, carrots, olive oil and garlic along with a few splashes of water and steam the veggies on low. Once they are soft enough to your liking mix in soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and toss around. Let simmer for a few minutes on low to soak up the flavor. You would also sub in zucchini which everyone has a ton of when garden time rolls around. And again if you want a dash of Siracha to bring a kick then add that in as well but remember less is more. It can be potent.
