1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce (Check label for allergens)
4 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil
3-4 scallions/ green onion stems, chopped
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small jalapeño or Serrano chili, seeded and finely chopped
1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
2 large heads Bibb, Boston, or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Set sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat skillet. Add scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through or for about 5 minutes. Add half the sauce to skillet and stir until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Serve in lettuce leaves with remaining sauce.
