Ingredients

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or liquid aminos

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons minced cilantro

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 small onion, diced

1 bell pepper (red, orange or yellow), diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon minced ginger

1 pound ground chicken or turkey

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, then add the chicken and cook, stirring, occasionally, until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce mixture and salt and cook until the juices evaporate, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spoon the filling into the lettuce cups and serve immediately. To eat, roll up the filling in the lettuce like a burrito.
