Piedad's Turkey Tacos


I named this dish after my sister Piedad because I first had a dish like this at her home.  I loved it so much and my son loved it so much that I decided to give it a try at home.  It has become a regular dish in our household because it is delicious and so fast to make.  It easily makes a quick dinner and if I have more time, I make a shrimp thai soup to go along with it and some thai spring rolls.  So you can make it fancy if you have time, or just keep it simple for a quick dinner.

This was the perfect post game dinner again, because we got home late, we were hungry and needed something that cooks really fast.  This dish can be done in 20 minutes.

1 1/4 pound of ground turkey breast
1/4 cup of green onions, chopped
3 TBS gluten free soy sauce (or coconut aminos to substitute the soy sauce).
2 TBS fish sauce
2 tsp chili paste
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS lemon grass
3 TBS cilantro
1-2 heads of butter lettuce


1. Sauté the ground turkey with a spray of olive oil and about 1 TBS of sesame oil in a non stick skillet.
2. Add all the other ingredients and continue to sauté a bit more until it is fragrant and fully cooked.
3. Serve on pieces of butter lettuce using the butter lettuce as "taco" shells.

This is about 4 WW points per serving.
