25 min 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • ground turkey1 lb
  • neutral oil1 tbsp
  • cremini mushrooms, sliced8 oz
  • scallions, sliced4
  • fresh ginger, grated1 tbsp
  • garlic, minced2 cloves
  • white miso paste1 1/2 tbsp
  • rice vinegar1 tbsp
  • honey1 tsp
  • butter lettuce leaves12
  • sesame seeds1 tbsp

Method

  1. 1Whisk miso, rice vinegar, honey, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. 2Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook 4 to 5 minutes until browned at the edges.
  3. 3Push mushrooms aside, add turkey, and cook for 4 minutes, breaking it up as it browns.
  4. 4Stir in ginger, garlic, and scallions, then pour in the miso mixture. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until the turkey is coated and the sauce lightly thickens.
  5. 5Turn off the heat and let the filling rest 1 minute so it becomes glossy rather than soupy.
  6. 6Spoon into lettuce leaves and finish with sesame seeds and extra scallion tops.

Tips

  • Dry the lettuce leaves well so they stay crisp.
  • If the pan looks too crowded, brown the mushrooms in two batches for better color.
  • A few cucumber ribbons make a nice cool addition inside the boats.
