EASY PEASY

Last week here in our neck of the woods I tried 3 new recipes. All received a thumbs up but when asked his favorite, Natureman did not hesitate to choose the Thai  Turkey* Lettuce Cups from Cooking Light from their other 20 minute main meals.

*Substitutions began at the beginning as I had chicken on hand, not ground turkey and rather than a cucumber and carrot I had a small bag of broccolini.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 T olive oil *, divided
• 3 T reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 T light brown sugar
• 2 T rice vinegar
• 1 lb ground turkey/chicken
• 12 butter lettuce leaves
• 1 1/2 c chopped brocolini ( had slivered carrots in bag)

Step 1

Combine 2 T oil, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar in bowl, whisk.

Step 2

Heat remaining 1 T oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat

Saute brocolini just to warm. 

Move to separate plate. 

Add meat to skillet; cook 7 minutes / until browned. 

Add 1/4 c soy sauce mixture; cook 4 minutes until liquid absorbed.

Step 3

Place heaping serving of brocolini atop each lettuce leaf.

Then 3 T meat mixture on each .

Top with peanuts. 

Drizzle evenly with remaining soy sauce mixture. 

Sprinkle with mint.

Voila!  3 lettuce cups/person

YUM!
