Indian Style Lettuce Wraps

This is my take on a favorite at PF Changs, the lettuce wraps.  In an effort to eat healthy, I have created this dish as a staple to our low calorie diet.  Here is how I make this.

Ingredients:

1/2 Lbs. Ground Turkey Meat (or any other ground meat you like)

2 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

3 Teaspoon Garlic, Minced

1 Small Jalapeno, Minced (more for more  heat)

1 Teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Minced

3 Tablespoon Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

2 Teaspoon Ground Tumeric

4 Teaspoon Ground Coriander

2 Teaspoon Garam Masala

1/2 Teaspoon Tandoori Masala (optional)

1 Teaspoon Salt (more or less depending on your family's taste)

2 Cups Spinach, chopped

½ Cup Fresh Green Beans, chopped small

½ white onion

½ red bell pepper

Lettuce (any type you like, we usually use butter lettuce or whole romaine leaves)

Directions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan.  Once hot, add the green beans, bell peppers, and onion and allow them to cook for a minute or two.  Then add the turkey and allow it to cook for another minute or two.  Add all the spices, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno, mixing well.  Allow the meat to fully cook.  Once fully cooked, add the spinach until the spinach has wilted down. Check the seasonings and adjust to your taste.  Serve the meat in a plate with your favorite lettuce and enjoy. 

Whether you are dieting or not, this is a must try and remember to take the Thyme to Savor...
