How to Make Asian Lettuce Cups With Turkey And Green Apple
- Combine the turkey, green apple, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a medium bowl. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the turkey mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is cooked through and the liquid has reduced slightly (about 8-10 minutes).
- While the turkey is cooking, prepare the lettuce cups by washing and drying the lettuce leaves.
- Once the turkey mixture is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired.
- Spoon the turkey mixture into the lettuce cups. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
