Dinner Tonight:

I was craving some crunchy lettuce, but wasn’t in the mood for a salad.

What to make?

Simple - lettuce cups a la P.F. Chang’s (although I’ve never eaten there, it’s a simple enough concept).

I started up some rice, then sauteed some garlic and ginger in a bit of sesame oil.  Once it was fragrant I added some ground turkey.  When the turkey was just about cooked through I added some terriyaki sauce and a couple squeezes of sriracha.  While this continued to cook I stripped a head of ice-burg lettuce, being careful to keep the leaves intact.  Once the rice was done I separated the rice & turkey into bowls, grabbed my lettuce leaves and dug in - a bit of rice, a bit of turkey and a few squeezes of sriracha.

It’s a great contrast of flavors and textures and a nice change of pace since we’ve been grilling so often.
