Thai turkey mince with rice

 

Ingredients 
1 Tbsp peanut oil
750g turkey mince
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
!/2 red onion chopped, optional

1/3 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 red onion, halved, finely sliced
1 cup fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
A handful of iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded
Steamed jasmine rice, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve

Serves 4

Method
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mince, garlic and chilli. Cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 min or until mince is browned and cooked through. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, onion, coriander and lettuce. Toss to combine.
Serve with rice and lime wedges.

Chook’s note: It’s the fresh ingredients and herbs added at the end that give this dish a wonderful zing. You could also add a splash of fish sauce but it’s not necessary.
You can prep the meat part ahead and simply warm at the last minute.
I use whatever rice I have pre-cooked in the freezer.
