Asian Stir Fry Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Recipe taken from this recipe roundup over at HackYour.Fitness .

Ingredients

1. 500g minced ground turkey
2. 1 head of lettuce (I prefer iceberg but any lettuce works)
3. 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
4. 1 cup of green peas
5. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
6. 1 Thai chili minced (remove seeds unless you like it hot!)
7. 3 tablespoons Chinese light soy sauce
8. 1 teaspoon brown sugar
9. Fresh basil leaves (6 or 7, tear into smaller pieces)
10. Finely ground white pepper
11. Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Spray pan with 0 calorie cooking spray over stove on medium heat.
2. Add garlic and onions to pan, then reduce heat and sauté until onions are translucent.
3. Bring the heat back up to medium, add minced turkey, and stir briskly to break up any clumps.
4. Add soya sauce before meat is cooked through.
5. Add sugar, chili, and basil leaves and continue to stir.
6. Season with white pepper and salt to taste. (A few pinches should suffice—don’t overdo it.)
7. Add green peas in at the end so they don’t overcook.
8. Remove from heat and allow stir fry to rest on the counter for 5 minutes while you wash and prepare the lettuce wraps. (No need to use a knife, just separate into individual leaves with hands.)
9. Plate lettuce and stir fry separately and serve.
