Ingredients

1 tablespoon unrefined, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound foster farms organic ground turkey
2 cloves gralic
1 onion, finely diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoon shoyu
1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup toasted, salted cashews, chopped
1 head of butter lettuce
salt and pepper

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to break up the turkey as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in garlic, onion, celery, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and crushed red pepper until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in cashews and green onions and cook until onions are tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style. Garnish with cilantro leaves and/or carrots if desired.
