Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Set sauce aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat skillet. Add shallot, ginger, garlic, and chile and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add turkey and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until almost cooked through, 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.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Chop and measure all your vegetables and herbs before you start cooking. This will make the assembly process much faster.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the turkey and vegetables without overcrowding them. This will help ensure that everything cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can be dry if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some chopped chili peppers or Sriracha sauce to the turkey mixture. You can also add some cumin or chipotle powder for a smoky flavor.
- Serve immediately: These lettuce wraps are best served immediately, while the turkey is still hot and the lettuce is crisp.
