Low-Carb Sriracha Turkey Lettuce Wraps

These were good but salty. The fish sauce makes it salty. I think I downed about 5 glasses of water after eating this. Would I make it again? I don't know. It really was good but the saltiness got to me.


Ingredients

2 Tsp. of grapeseed oil
1 lb. of ground Turkey 
1 T of fish sauce 
1-2 T of Sriracha Sauce 
1 T of water
Zest from one large lime
Juice from one large lime (about 1 1/2 T of juice)
1/4 Cup thinly sliced green onion
Iceberg lettuce


Directions

1. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan, then saute the turkey until it's cooked through and starting to brown, breaking apart as it cooks
2. While the turkey cooks, mix together the fish sauce, Sriracha sauce, and water in a small bowl
3. Zest the skin of the lime and squeeze the juice
4. Thinly slice the green onions 
5. When the turkey is done, add the Sriracha sauce mixture and let it sizzle until the water has evaporated, stirring a few times to get the flavor mixed through the meat
6. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and sliced green onions
7. Serve meat mixture with iceberg lettuce leaves to fill with meat and wrap around it, to be eaten with your hands
