Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 large carrots peeled and grated
- 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
For the Sauce:
- 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter*
- 2 Tbsp liquid aminos or coconut aminos
- 1 Tbsp red curry paste**
- 1 tsp fish sauce optional
For Serving:
- 1 head butter leaf lettuce
- 1 bunch green onion chopped
- 1/3 cup raw or roasted cashews optional
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce by stirring the ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Set aside until ready to use.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
- Scoot the onion off to the sides and place the ground turkey in the middle of the skillet. Allow it to brown for 2 minutes per side before using a spatula to chop it into bite sized pieces.
- Stir the grated carrot and sliced cabbage into the ground turkey mixture.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables have reached your desired level of doneness.
- Stir in the chopped green onion and cashews (if adding).
- Wash the butter leaf lettuce well and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place lettuce cups on a plate and fill them with the Thai turkey filling. Enjoy!
Notes
*You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter
