Clean Eating Lettuce Wraps to DIE for.

We've been clean eating in our house.  That's right - we wash all our foods with soap and water before we eat them.  So fresh and so clean, clean.  Ok - but really.  We've been eating clean.  I love to cook - I love to NOT follow recipes so it's been a little bit of a challenge for me.  Tonight's dinner was definitely a success so despite the fact that nobody cares I am going to post this recipe. .. P.S. Leave a comment with your favorite Clean Eating  recipes.
Please.


Clean-Eating Lettuce Wraps
1lb ground turkey
3tbs EVOO
2 carrots, peeled and cut into small strips
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into small strips
1 tsp. ginger
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. beef broth
1 tbs honey
pepper, red chili flakes (optional)
1 head of iceberg lettuce, leaves peeled off whole if possible
4 cups cooked brown rice

In a large skillet cook up your ground turkey, drain any excess fat if there is any and then add your carrots and parsnips cover and cook on medium high for 5-8 minutes stirring occasionally. Once carrots are tender add your onions, garlic and ginger right into the pan, cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes until onions become translucent. Now add your orange juice, soy sauce, honey and beef broth, bring to boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until liquid becomes mostly thick and not so watery. Add pepper and red chili flakes to taste. No need to add salt there should be enough with the soy sauce that was added. Now serve with rice and lettuce.

Enjoy!
