Ingredients

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup Hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (can use low sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp liquid honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Ground Turkey Mixture

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey (or chicken)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped

Spicy Mayo Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp kewpie mayo

Wrap and Toppings:

  • 1 head lettuce (iceberg, romaine, butter) separated into whole leaves
  • handful fresh cilantro
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts toasted if you like

Instructions

Make the hoisin sauce mixture first:

  • In a small saucepan combine the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, sesame oil, and lime juice. Over low heat stir and cook until well blended, then remove from the heat and set aside.
    3/4 cup Hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp liquid honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Cooking the turkey:

  • In a large skillet over low-medium heat, warm up about 1 tbsp of oil then add the ground turkey, minced garlic and ginger.
    1 tbsp oil, 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey (or chicken), 1 clove garlic, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the moisture is gone (you may have to drain it).
  • Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and the sauce you made, to the ground turkey mixture. Stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked but still kind of crunchy.
    1 bell pepper, 1 small onion

Sriracha Mayo Sauce:

  • In a small bowl mix together the kewpie mayo and sriracha sauce.
    2 tbsp kewpie mayo, 2 tbsp sriracha

Putting it all together:

  • In separate bowls set out the lettuce leaves, cooked ground turkey mixture, chopped peanuts, chopped cilantro, sliced onions, sriracha/mayo sauce and any other toppings you would like.
    1 head lettuce (iceberg, romaine, butter), handful fresh cilantro, 3 green onions, 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • Let everyone put together their own wrap: start with a lettuce cup, add a generous spoonful or two of the turkey mixture, sprinkle with cilantro, green onion, and peanuts, then drizzle with the sriracha/mayo mix.
  • Enjoy!
