• ▢1 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated

Instructions

To cook using thawed turkey:

• Add ground turkey to Instant Pot with garlic, ginger, honey, coconut aminos, and sesame oil.
• Cook on high for 2 minutes.
• Do a quick pressure release, and remove the lid.
• Turn to 'Sauté' and simmer, breaking up the turkey, until sauce has reduced and meat is cooked through (3-5 minutes). It should not be too liquidy, but this will depend on the type of ground meat you use. 
• Stir in the carrot and serve.

To cook using frozen turkey:

• Remove frozen ground turkey from packaging 
• Place 1 cup of water into a 6 quart Instant Pot (1 1/2 cups for 8 quart). Place trivet over water and frozen meat on the trivet.
• Cook on high for 5 minutes.
• Do a quick pressure release and carefully remove the trivet + meat from the Instant Pot. *It will only be partly cooked through at this point*
• Carefully dump the liquid from the Instant Pot, and add the ground meat back to the Instant Pot with the garlic, ginger, honey, coconut aminos, and sesame oil.
• Turn to 'Sauté' and cook, breaking up the turkey, for 3-5 minutes, until meat is fully cooked through.
• Stir in the carrots and serve.

To serve

• Spoon filling into romaine lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with green onions.

Storage

• The filling may be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Note:

** to make this recipe keto-friendly, swap the honey for 2-3 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener. However, I have not tested cooking this keto version from fresh and am not sure if the pot will come to pressure.
