Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 8 large butter lettuce leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Turkey Filling

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Next, add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Use a spatula to break up the turkey into small pieces as it cooks.

2. Add the Flavor

Once the turkey is fully cooked, add the Chinese 5 spice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.

3. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and water. Pour the sauce over the turkey filling and stir to coat the meat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps

Wash and dry the butter lettuce leaves and place them on a serving plate. Spoon the turkey filling onto each leaf, then top with a sprinkle of chopped mint leaves.
