Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground Alberta turkey
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 chunk ginger grated
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 2 stalks green onion sliced diagonally
  • 2 carrots julienned
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped (I like to use scissors for chopping herbs)
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce broken into wrappable pieces
  • 1 cup chow mein noodles broken up (not cooked)
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce

Spicy Mayo Dip

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha hot sauce
  • lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and chop limes, green onion, carrots and cilantro.
  • In a deep skillet over medium heat, pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil and cook the ground turkey. Remove turkey from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and ½ tablespoon of sesame oil, add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds.
  • Turn down the heat to medium-low and add peanuts and julienned carrots. For the perfect not-too-hard, not-too soft texture, cook for about five minutes.
  • Turn the heat back up to medium and add in the cooked ground Alberta Turkey. Stir to combine.
  • Add the turkey, carrots, and peanut mixture to a bowl and then add in cilantro, green onions, chow mein noodles, sesame seeds - reserving a bit of each to add at the end. Add Sweet Chili Sauce and stir to combine.
  • Scoop turkey mixture into iceberg lettuce cups and sprinkle reserved cilantro, green onions, chow mein noodles, and sesame seeds on top.
