Thai Lettuce Wraps by Megan

blog 4 013113In this video, Megan demonstrates a simple recipe for making lettuce wraps with ground turkey.  The filling is made with bibb lettuce, shallots, a splash of olive oil for sauteing, garlic, ginger, jalapeno peppers, red bell pepper, cole slaw mix, scallions, and ground turkey.  She uses a Thai flavor sauce made from soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and some oyster sauce.

This recipe is an easy candidate for a simple makeover by replacing  the ground turkey with a vegan turkey substitute and minimizing the oil used for sauteing.

Vegan turkey meat substitutes are becoming widely available in food markets are well as on-line.

Megan’s mentions cutting bell peppers with the skin down makes it easier to cut through them.

This is an easy and healthy recipe to enjoy by yourself, with your family, or with guests.
