Turkey mince lettuce wraps

Method

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high flame until it's hot. Add the turkey mince and break it up with a wooden spoon as it hits the pan, working it into small, even pieces. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is cooked through and any moisture has evaporated; you want some light browning on the surface but won't get much colour from such lean mince. Drain off any excess liquid if needed.

While the turkey cooks, prepare your components. Separate the gem lettuce leaves carefully and set aside on a plate. Slice the spring onions on the diagonal, keeping whites and greens separate. Once the mince is done, reduce the heat to low and stir through the hoisin sauce, coating the meat evenly. Add the spring onion whites and warm through for 30 seconds.

To serve, lay out the lettuce leaves on a board. Spoon a portion of the warm turkey mixture onto each leaf and scatter over the spring onion greens. Eat with your hands, wrapping the lettuce around the filling; the leaves provide structure and bite against the soft mince.
