Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Once shimmering, add minced garlic, chopped shallots, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and shallots are translucent.
  2. Add chopped water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and shredded carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  3. In the same wok, add ground turkey, using a spatula to break it apart while it cooks. Stir-fry for about 4 to 5 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and no longer pink.
  4. Once browned, stir in hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Mix well to coat the turkey, then add the sautéed vegetables back to the wok. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper and stir for about 2 minutes until heated through.
  5. To serve, take fresh butter lettuce leaves and place on a platter. Spoon the turkey-vegetable mixture into each leaf. Top with chopped cashews and sliced green onions. Drizzle with extra hoisin sauce if desired.
