Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds 20 ounces extra-lean ground turkey
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- 2 Tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 Tablespoons orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon Thai fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch
- Additions: green leaf lettuce broccoli slaw, sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet with 1 Tablespoon olive or coconut oil. Once the pan is heated, place the turkey and minced garlic in the skillet and begin to brown the meat, breaking up with a spatula as you cook it. Don't add salt to the meat here, the fish sauce has enough sodium for this recipe.
- Meanwhile, place the chicken stock, coconut aminos, fish sauce, orange juice, lime juice, ginger, and tapioca starch in a bowl and whisk together.
- Once the ground turkey is completely cooked through, add the sauce to the ground meat and cook until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve wrapped in lettuce cups and topped with sliced green onions and broccoli slaw!
