Prep Time :5

Cook Time :20

YOU'LL NEED:

1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 limes)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 yellow, orange, or red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
3 small shallots, diced (or thinly sliced if you’re into that :)
1/4 cup 1/4 cup minced lemongrass (about 1 – 4 inch piece of lemongrass, or use the lemongrass paste)
1 1/2 lb ground turkey
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh mint leaves, chopped (to garnish and top)
Lime wedges (to garnish and top)
1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated, washed, and dried

HERE'S HOW:

Squeeze and measure lime and lemon juice (best tool for the job!). Add to a small bowl along with the honey, and whisk together. Set aside.
In a large bottom pot (love this one!) or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, shallots, and lemongrass. Cook until veggies begin to soften – about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking apart meat and stirring frequently, until everything is cooked through – about 7 minutes.
Add the citrus and honey dressing to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spoon turkey mixture into lettuce leaves, top with mint and extra lime as desired, and eat up!
