Ingredients

1 head iceberg lettuce

3 medium cucumbers

1 small bunch cilantro

1 clove garlic

1 x 1 inch piece ginger root

1 small bunch green onions (scallions)

1 lb ground turkey

1 lime

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

Juice the lime into a medium bowl.

Add soy sauce and brown sugar to the lime juice; whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

Trim the ends and peel the cucumbers; discard the trimmings and coarsely grate the cucumbers. Add to the bowl.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim and discard the root ends of the green onions; chop the onions into 1/4-inch pieces. Add half to the bowl and save the rest for garnish.

Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Add half to the bowl and save the rest for garnish.

Peel and mince or grate the ginger; transfer to a small bowl.

Peel and mince the garlic; add to the ginger.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Separate the lettuce head into leaves and place on a plate.

Add olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add ground turkey to the skillet; cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.

To serve, spoon the cooked turkey into lettuce leaves, top with the cucumber mixture, and garnish with the remaining green onions and cilantro. Enjoy!
