Turkey Tofu Lettuce Wraps Recipes

TURKEY TACO LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• For the enchilada sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour until combined. Whisk in the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin and oregano until combined. Gradually add the broth, whisk constantly, and simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
• For the tacos: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the diced pepper and Enchilada Sauce to the cooked turkey. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• To serve, spoon the turkey filling into the lettuce leaves and top with the shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado and cilantro sprigs.

VEGAN LETTUCE WRAPS WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and garlic in a bowl; mix to combine and set aside.
• Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
• Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Crumble tofu into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in hoisin mixture and mix well. Cook enough for the liquid to reduce some.
• Serve with lettuce and garnish with green onions and carrots.

PF CHANG'S TOFU LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, and then remove excess moisture by cutting it in half lengthwise and microwaving on high, uncovered, for two minutes. Gently squeeze out and wipe off excess moisture, then throw tofu in the freezer for one or two hours before removing to thaw in the fridge -- this will give the tofu a slightly heavier texture.
• Cut tofu into tiny cubes (about 1/4" thick) and arrange in a lidded dish to be marinaded. Combine brown sugar, soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Pour over tofu. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour; I usually leave it overnight.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, water chestnuts, mushrooms, onion, and garlic and cook until vegetables are tender.
• Dissolve 1 Tsp brown sugar in 1 Tsp soy sauce and add to pan. Saute until well mixed and heated through. Spoon mixture into lettuce leaf "bowls".
• For the sauce, combine sugar, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice, sesame oil, mustard and garlic in a bowl; pour over lettuce wraps and serve.

TURKEY-TOFU LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together chili-garlic sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, and sherry. Set aside.
• Use cheese cloth or paper towels to remove as much moisture from the tofu as possible. For me, this ends up making the tofu more of a "ground-like" ingredient than diced, but this is perfect for this recipe.
• Heat some oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add ginger and scallion whites, cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Add ground turkey and tofu. Stir until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper, snow peas, and water chestnuts. Stir. Add sauce.
• Reduce heat to simmer, and cook 3-4 additional minutes.
• Remove from heat. Add Peanuts and scallion greens.
• Serve in lettuce pieces. Feel free to garnish with some toasted sesame seeds or cilantro.
• I actually made a side sauce to garnish for my husband and I that was slightly spicy. It was a combination of the soy, hoisin, honey, chili-garlic paste, lime juice, olive oil, dark ground mustard, and ginger. Feel free to make your own sauce that fits your mood.

TOFU LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the tofu and break it up into very small pieces. Cook until much of the liquid cooks off and the tofu starts to turn golden, for several minutes.
• Add the chili powder and some salt and pepper, then stir. Throw in the green onions and corn and cook for a few minutes (the corn can remain crunchy). Add the soy sauce and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
• Pile the mixture into individual romaine lettuce leaves, then add slices of avocado. Fold up and chow down!

GROUND TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, lemon grass paste, fish sauce and salt/pepper until thoroughly mixed and let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a large saucepan or wok, heat peanut oil and stir fry the green onions, serrano peppers, ginger, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and garlic until soft (about 4 mins). Now add the ground turkey and hoisin sauce then cook until done (turkey is brown).
• Chop the fresh herbs as above and place each in an individual serving container (small bowl or ramekin).
• To make the sauce: In a small mixing bowl, soak the crushed red pepper in lime juice for several minutes Add the garlic, sugar, and fish sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar. Transfer to a serving container and add the grated carrots and serve at room temperature Refrigerated, the sauce will keep in a tightly covered container for up to 5 days.
• To Serve: Arrange lettuce on a large platter surrounded by the containers of chopped herbs, etc. and the sauce. To make a wrap take a lettuce leaf in hand, scoop a large tablespoon of meat on to lettuce leaf, then add any herbs that you like. Add a teaspoon of sauce onto the mixture on the leaf and then roll and eat. Yum!
