Buffalo Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 2 tsp. olive oil, for browning turkey
  • 3/4 – 1 cup thickly sliced green onion
  • 1/2 large head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 heads iceberg lettuce
  • 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese, more or less to taste
  • 1/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 1/2 T olive oil
  • 1 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce, gluten-free if needed
  • 1T sweetener of your choice
  • 1 tsp. Green Tabasco Sauce

Directions

  1. Warm the 2 tsp. olive oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add the ground turkey, set the heat to medium high, and use a turner to crumble the meat as it cooks. Keep going until the turkey has browned well; if liquid collects in the pan, let it bubble away.
  2. As the turkey is cooking, combine the Frank's Red Hot Sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire Sauce, sweetener of your choice, and Green Tabasco Sauce.
  3. Once the turkey is well browned, pour in the sauce mixture and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the meat has taken in the sauce; when you stir, the pan bottom should show.
  4. Cut the green onions into slices, shave the purple cabbage thinly, using a mandoline slicer if you have one, and break up the blue cheese into crumbles.
  5. Rinse the lettuce if it needs it, then pull the leaves apart into large cups.
  6. Spoon plenty of sliced cabbage into each lettuce cup, add some buffalo turkey, and finish with crumbled blue cheese.
  7. The buffalo turkey mixture, sliced cabbage, lettuce, and blue cheese can be refrigerated for a day or 2, but wait to build the lettuce wraps until just before eating.
  8. Enjoy.
