Tyler's Savory Turkey Topping

A savory ground turkey topping I like in lettuce wraps, with garlic, kale, shiitakes, soy sauce, and a little glossy stock-thickened sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1/2 bag kale
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef stock
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch or potato starch
  • Optional MSG, baby corn, or other vegetables
  • Butter lettuce or lettuce cups for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep ingredients, mince garlic, and mix beef stock with starch in a small bowl.
  2. Heat oil over medium heat, add garlic, reduce to medium-low, and cook until golden.
  3. Increase to medium-high; add turkey and soy sauce. Cook until turkey is no longer pink.
  4. Add shiitakes, kale, and any extra vegetables. Add optional MSG and onion powder.
  5. Cook until kale is bright green, then add stock mixture and stir until the sauce thickens. Spoon into lettuce cups.
