Turkey Lettuce Cups

The kiddos and I whipped up this delicious recipe this week and just HAD to share it with our favorite peeps.  Goes well with steamed veggies and a fruit salad.



1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp Thai fish sauce (in the ethnic food aisle of the grocery store)
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 red onion diced
3 small shallots, thinly sliced
1 and 1/2 lb ground lean turkey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
ginger to taste
mint to taste (I used a pinch of dried)
1 head butter lettuce, separated
shredded carrot

For dressing, whisk together lime and lemon juices, fish sauce and honey.  Set aside.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and shallots.  Cook until vegetables begin to soften (about five minutes).  Add turkey.  Cook, stirring frequently, until meat and vegetables are cooked through (about five minutes).

Add dressing to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes.  Season with salt, pepper, ginger and mint.

Divide turkey mixture among four lettuce leaves, sprinkle with shredded carrot and serve.  Mmmm.
