Recipe: Five-Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps

Five-Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps

½ cup water
½ cup instant brown rice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated
½ cup chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, mint and/or chives)

1 large carrot, shredded


Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.

Yield: 4 servings (2 tablespoons per wrap)
