TURKEY LARB

Just saw this on Food Network,looked delish! Giada wrapped the mixture into lettuce leaves, that is what I will do.I think any lettuce can be used and I also don't think the rice is needed if you use this as a filler for a lettuce wrap. *Can be found at specialty Asian markets. Posted for ZWT6.

This was the worst recipe I've ever tried. It was bland, dry, and tasteless. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like there are a lot of ingredients and it might be too spicy for my taste.

I've tried this turkey larb recipe twice now and both times it's been a disaster. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I love the addition of roasted peanuts to this larb. It gives it a nice crunchy texture.
