Add the diced tomato. Cook 2-3 minutes until softened and most of the liquid is evaporated.
Add the ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper. Break it up into equal sized small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks to ensure it cooks evenly and most of the liquid is evaporated, 5-8 minutes.
Turn off the heat and add the frozen peas. Mix well. Cover until ready to serve.
Make the thai chili ginger sauce by mixing all ingredients in a bowl or food processor.
Make the sweet & sour sauce by mixing the jam and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
Serve with butter lettuce and dipping sauces.
Notes
To make a great lettuce wrap, you need to use a type of lettuce that has a large enough leaf and that will hold it’s shape. Iceberg lettuce and butter lettuce both work really well for wraps.To separate the lettuce, cut out the core of the lettuce and get rid of any wilted, not so fresh leaves. Gently wash the lettuce with cold water. The water will help loosen the leaves so that they separate out. Peel off the individual leaves and place to one side, ready to be filled later.You can make the filling ahead and store it separately from the lettuce in the fridge, then assembling just before eating.
