Teriyaki Turkey and Vegetable Medley in Lettuce Cups...



This recipe is so quick and easy and is a fabulous way to get all your vegies for the day. I love how bright and colorful these vegetables make this meal look. For those of your who work and need a meal to make that takes under 20 minutes, this is the one for you!


*1 pound ground turkey or chicken

*3/4 - 1 cup Island Teriyaki Sauce (they sell it in Trader Joes)

*1 tbsp rice vinegar

*couple of shakes of red pepper flakes

*1 tbsp minced fresh ginger (1 tsp powdered if you don't have fresh)

*2 red bell peppers

*1 bunch spring onions

*1 small head of red cabbage

*1 tbsp peanut oil

*1 head of iceburg lettuce


Start by sauteeing your ground turkey in 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce with the rice vinegar and ginger. Cook completely. While the turkey is cooking, chop your cabbage, onion, and peppers. Once the turkey is cooked, add your vegies, with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Saute the vegies for 5-7 minutes (cooking them longer will deplete them of their nutrients). Before serving sprinkle on the peanut oil. Serve in large leaf of iceburg lettuce. Enjoy!
