I’m back! It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to do something creative in the kitchen thanks to Fleet Week, but now it is officially over 🙂  This is a little strange, but I was thinking about those lettuce wrap appetizers that you get at P.F. Chang’s…you know, the ones with the delicious ground mystery meat and some kind of magic sauce and green onions? Yeah, those.  I realize that those are supposed to be Chinese and we’re here to talk Thai flavors, but hey, inspiration comes from the strangest things.
I originally wanted to use ground chicken for these but I could NOT find any in my usual grocery store.  And I’m just way too lazy to go in search of ground chicken for one dish…so here we are with turkey! (Still delicious, btw) When I was (re)calculating the nutrition for this recipe, I realized that the 99% lean ground turkey has way fewer calories than ground chicken.  Who would have thought so?  I guess the “lean ground chicken” has more fat than “extra lean” ground turkey.
I thought about going with the standard shredded carrots that you get in a bag at the grocery store, but I really wanted them to be thinner and less crunchy here.  The cabbage leaves take care of the crunch, so I just shaved the carrots with this handy, dandy little tool that I have no name for except for food shaver.  I think maybe it’s just a vegetable peeler, but I’ll stick with food shaver.  It made the carrot strips almost paper thin which I thought was perfect for these wraps!

Anyways, I think the peanut sauce and green onions are totally what makes these wraps awesome! The peanut sauce just ties the whole thing together.  I used PB2 to cut down on the fat here – I personally think it tastes amazing and you can’t tell that it’s supposed to be healthy – but you can use regular peanut butter if you must.  Maybe cut the honey in half if you do that.  My favorite part about Thai flavors is the sweetness on the surface that’s almost always followed up by spiciness. Yum.  I didn’t go crazy with the spice here, but if you like it hot, add more red pepper flakes and sriracha sauce!

You may have noticed that I doubled up the cabbage leaves here – well if you didn’t, that’s what I did.  I don’t recommend it! I just thought it was pretty for the picture but really it’s just too much effort to take a bite of one of these through two layers of cabbage.  And too much cabbage.  But I do like the cabbage as an alternative to lettuce wraps…figured I’d try something new.  They are much studier than regular old romaine lettuce wraps and have more taste (and nutrition).  So if you’re brave, give it a try! If not, just grab a head of romaine instead 🙂
