• INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 8 oz package of whole FunGuy Mushrooms
  • 1 young red onion (like a scallion), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 chili pepper, minced
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 5 peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 small head of butter leaf lettuce

In this recipe for Thai-esque lettuce wraps, we’re going for a lively flavor combo of sweet, salty, sour and heat topped by a creamy homemade peanut sauce.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix ground turkey with honey, fish sauce and lime juice. Cover and set aside.
  2. Slice FunGuy mushrooms very thinly with a sharp knife or on a mandolin (we prefer a mandolin!)
  3. Heat  peanut oil in a wok or sauté pan over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add in garlic, ginger and chili pepper. Cook, tossing until fragrant; 1 – 2 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl to cool.
  5. Transfer turkey to the wok and break it apart with a wooden spatula. Allow it to cook with out stirring until browned on the bottom; 5 – 6 minutes. Turn the turkey and allow it to cook the rest of the way. Turn off the heat and drain excess liquid from the pan.
  6. For the sauce heat peanut butter, coconut milk, lemon juice and fish sauce over low heat in a small sauce pan, stirring frequently.
  7. Season with sugar, cumin and coriander, whisking well to combine. Once peanut butter has melted and sauce is smooth, remove the pan from the stove and pour sauce into serving bowls.  Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.

Assembling is easy, just spoon some turkey-mushroom filling into each lettuce leaf then top it off with the peanut sauce and a sprinkle of the red scallion onions.

Have a fun meal!
