Introduction

I first discovered this dish on the Biggest Loser, Ed and Heba made this for Bob on one episode. It looked so good I had to find the recipe so I did a little searching and found it on Jennie O's website. The only thing I changed from the website's version is I used a different kind of Chile Sauce ( note I did not add Chile Sauce to the ingrediants above because I could not find the specific kind I needed and did not have the info readily available). I used a kind of chile sauce I found at walmart with ginger listed as an ingrediant so I ommitted the original recipes call for ginger.

Ingredients

    1.25 pound of ground turkey browned
    3 green onions chopped
    1 clove garlic chopped
    3-5 baby carrots chopped
    1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped
    Juice of 4 limes
    2Tbs chile sauce
    4 leafs of romaine lettuce ( or you can use the kind of your choice. Heba and Ed used Boston Leaf lettuce.)

Directions

Brown the turkey in a pan, when turkey is no longer pink trasfer to a bowl and chill in refridgerator. Combine the rest of the ingrediants in a bowl and mix. When turkey is chilled completed add the turkey to the mix and serve in wrapped lettuce. It would also work good with baked tortilla chips or crackers or on a salad. This is very versatile. I made a big batch one evening and then took it for lunch for several days. You eat it cold!! SO YUMMY!!! Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions. The calories listed should be about right, but you will have to add the calories from the chile sauce you used since I did not add that to the calorie total.
