Biggest Loser Jennie-O Thai turkey wraps recipe

On the Jennie-O Web site, I found what appears to be Ed's Thai turkey lettuce wraps that he made on The Biggest Loser. Couldn't find any nutritional info on it, though, but you've gotta figure that it's pretty low, since it's turkey breast, veggies and a smattering of chopped nuts. Here it is:

  • 1.25 lbs Jennie-O Extra Lean ground turkey (1 package)
  • 1 head of Boston leaf lettuce
  • 1 carrot, peeled and minced
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • Juice of four limes
  • 2 tsp Sriacha chili sauce
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • Garnish:
  • 1 red pepper, minced
  • 1/2 cucumber, deseeded and julienned
  • 2 tbsp roasted cashews, chopped

Cook turkey in skillet till no longer pink, then transfer to a dish and cool in refrigerator. Remove core from head of lettuce, then wash and dry leaves. Combine next 7 ingredients (carrots through green onions) in a bowl, then stir in cooked and chilled Jennie-O turkey. Arrange lettuce leaves on the outer rim of a serving plate. Spoon turkey mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf to create wraps. Garnish with peppers, cucumber and cashews.
