ingredients

Filling
1 lb ground turkey
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon applesauce
Garnishes
1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 cup sliced radish
Sauce
¹⁄₃ cup light soy sauce
¹⁄₃ cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 teaspoons very finely minced garlic, about 6 cloves (use a garlic press or a mortar and pestle for best results)
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon chili paste (sriracha) (optional)

directions

Mix filling ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes for flavors to penetrate.
Combine rice and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover tightly and cook until tender, 30-40 minutes. (You may substitute white rice, which will only take about 20 minutes. You may also use a rice cooker, if you own one.).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add meat mixture and saute until no longer pink.
Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl, then divide into 4 serving bowls.
Serve family style, with meat, rice and vegetables in bowls on the table, along with a platter of either large lettuce leaves or rice paper wrappers. Place a few spoonfuls of meat, a spoonful of rice, and a few of the vegetables on a leaf, roll up, dip in sauce and eat. (Alternately, mix meat, rice and dipping sauce together, then fill leaves with mixture and vegetables.).

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
