This is a dish that everyone in the family enjoys—which is saying a lot! You can use ground turkey or chicken here, or swap in a vegetarian protein of your choice. If there happens to be any leftovers, serve them over a bed of greens for lunch the next day.

Ingredients

For the satay sauce:

⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut aminos

3 tablespoons natural almond butter

1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

¼ to ½ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce, to taste

For the filling:

1 pound chicken or turkey breast, ground or cut into bite-size pieces

1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped

1 cup finely chopped broccoli

1 cup chopped purple cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

8 green onions (white and green parts), chopped

½ cup chopped jicama

½ cup chopped celery

For serving:

4 to 6 lettuce leaves (Bibb, Boston, or romaine), washed and dried well

½ cup unsalted cashew pieces

Toasted sesame seeds or hemp seeds

Preparation

To make the sauce:
Step 1
In a small bowl or medium jar, whisk or shake together the sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.
To make the filling:
Step 2
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the meat until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the vegetables and the sauce mixture and cook until the green onions and red peppers are softened and the meat has soaked up the mixture, about 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 3
Spoon about ⅓ cup of the filling into a lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with the cashews and sesame or hemp seeds and enjoy!
