Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Add water to thin until pourable. Set aside.

2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add ground turkey. Cook, breaking up with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through (6–8 minutes).

4. Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Add green onions and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.

5. Assemble bowls with lettuce and rice as a base. Add cooked turkey and arrange toppings: carrots, cucumber, cabbage, nuts, and herbs.

6. Drizzle with sauce or serve it on the side. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

Dry lettuce thoroughly to avoid soggy bowls.

Don’t skip garlic and ginger – they build the flavor base.

Prepping veggies in advance makes this a 15-minute meal.
