Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup instant brown rice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 pound lean ground turkey 93%
1 Tbsp fresh ginger minced
1 red bell peppers finely diced
8 oz chestnuts rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 heads Boston Bibb lettuce leaves separated
1/2 cup fresh herbs chopped, such as cilantro, basil, mint and/or chives
1 carrots shredded

Instructions

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Mince ginger. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
To serve, spoon portions of the turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.

Chef Tips

Hoisin sauce is a spicy, sweet sauce made from soybeans, chiles, garlic and spices. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year. Often a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder was originally considered a cure-all miracle blend encompassing the five elements (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty). Look for it in the supermarket spice section.
