A close friend of ours is turning 21 again tomorrow and she asked me for this recipe… Happy Birthday, can’t wait to see you guys!!!<\/p>\n

I made a similar dish to this for Zoey years ago (trying to create a tasty 5-2 diet recipe) it was great but I promptly forgot how I make it. Thankfully, Zoey found this recipe and we have used it as our base ever since. One thing to mention, I am writing this recipe as it was found in a Tesco Magazine, where we doctored it, I wrote it as we make it or was a tad more specific than the actual printed recipe. We actually make our rice in a rice cooker and so don’t follow this method – **To be truly forthcoming, we would not serve this with rice but use the small baby lettuce leaves as wraps instead.<\/p>\n

Serves:<\/strong> 4<\/h6>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1Tbsp Sesame Oil<\/li>\n
  • 3 Lemon Grass Stalks – Roughly Chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 Red Onion – Roughly Chopped<\/li>\n
  • 5 Garlic Cloves – Roughly Chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 Red Chilli – Deseeded and Chopped<\/li>\n
  • Roughly 1″ Piece Root Ginger – Grated or Chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1 x 633g Pack Turkey Mince (Ground Turkey)<\/li>\n
  • 1 Lime – Juiced<\/li>\n
  • 1tsp Chilli Powder<\/li>\n
  • 2Tbsp Fish Sauce<\/li>\n
  • 2 x 250g Packs Microwaveable Basmati Rice<\/li>\n
  • Handful Mint Leaves<\/li>\n
  • Handful Coriander Leaves<\/li>\n
  • 2 Little Gem Lettuces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Directions:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat.<\/li>\n
    2. Meanwhile, to make the Thai spice mixture, put the roughly chopped lemon grass, red onion and garlic, the deseeded and chopped chilli, and the root ginger into a small food processor. Whizz until you have a course paste.<\/li>\n
    3. Add the turkey mince to the hot pan, stirring occasionally until browned. This should take about 5 minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Add the lime juice to the Turkey, along with the Thai Spice mixture, Chilli Powder and Fish Sauce.<\/li>\n
    5. Stir the mixture until everything is thoroughly combined.<\/li>\n
    6. Meanwhile, cook the rice following the pack instructions. **We don’t do this part<\/em><\/li>\n
    7. While the rice is cooking, roughly chop the mint and coriander leaves and separate the little gem lettuce leaves.<\/li>\n
    8. Stir the herbs into the turkey and serve with the lettuce leaves and rice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Again, we don’t normally serve this with rice but we have added peanuts and cashew nuts on occasion and that was quite good – I would chop and toast them first when I did it<\/em><\/p>\n
