Serves 4, 100 mg per serving
Ingredients
1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
1½ cups water
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons "soy sauce"
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
3 scallions, sliced thin
¼ cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, chopped
12 large lettuce leaves
Instructions
Bring rice and water to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat
Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add ground turkey and chile and cook, breaking up meat with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Whisk lime juice, "soy sauce", and cornstarch together, then add to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, about 45 seconds. Off heat, stir in basil, scallions, and peanuts. Gently fluff rice with fork. Divide chicken filling and rice evenly among lettuce leaves and serve.
