Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 pound 99% fat-free ground turkey breast

½ cup plus 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, see shopping tips

1 tablespoon ginger (from a jar) or fresh grated ginger root, see shopping tips

½ cup unsweetened apple juice

5 cups shredded cabbage

1½ cups shredded carrots

14 leaves Boston lettuce (about 1½ heads) washed, dried and leaves separated, see shopping tips

½ cup chopped scallions

⅓ cup Asian plum sauce (optional), see shopping tip

Directions

1. Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Brown ground turkey over medium-high heat, breaking up the pieces. When cooked and cool enough to handle, break up turkey pieces until minced.
Stir in hoisin sauce, ginger, apple juice, cabbage and carrots; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly, until cabbage is crisp-tender.

2. To assemble each lettuce wrap: Spoon ⅓ cup of turkey filling onto 1 lettuce leaf. Add a little scallions on top of each. If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon plum sauce over the top.
