Description
These tasty little turkey patties have all the flavors common in Thai dishes: Salty, sour, spicy, and sweet. You can use a sweet chili sauce in place of the peanut sauce if you like, and extra sriracha on the side if you want to turn up the heat. A lettuce with soft, large leaves--like Boston, red leaf, or iceberg--will work best as wrappers. For a more substantial meal, serve some jasmine rice to eat on the side or tuck into the lettuce wraps. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Susan Spungen.
Ingredients
- 2 inches fresh ginger
- 4 scallions
- 1 cup Cilantro leaves (for turkey)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 lime (for zest and 1 Tbsp. juice)
- 2 tsp. fish sauce (Thai or Vietnamese)
- 1 tsp. Sriracha hot sauce (for turkey)
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 4 Thai chilies (fresh, preferably red, also called birds eye; optional)
- 8 Boston lettuce leaves
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 1/4 cup Cilantro leaves (for serving)
- peanut sauce (store-bought)
- Sriracha hot sauce (for serving)
Directions
- Scrape peel from the ginger with a spoon, then finely grate ginger into a large bowl. Thinly slice the scallions, chop the cilantro, and mince the garlic. Add all to the bowl. Zest and juice the lime and add to bowl with the fish sauce and sriracha. Add the ground turkey and salt.
- Mix thoroughly with your hands until ingredients are well incorporated. Dampen hands and divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick and 3-inches wide.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties in a single layer and cook until well browned, turning once, 4-5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables for serving.
