Thai Turkey Roll-Ups

YUM. YUM. YUM.

I have to say that these things are some of the yummiest things I've ever put in my mouth. And I like food. And I've eaten lots of different foods. Make sure you try this recipe!

1/2 lb. roasted turkey breast, cut into 1/4 inch strips (or use turkey breast you roast & dice it)
1 loaf soft lavosh (or tortillas if you can't find lavosh)
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh ginger root, minced
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. cilantro, minced
2 Tbsp. crunchy peanut butter
2 Tbsp. green onion, minced
2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 lime (juice with pulp)
1/2 tsp. lime rind, grated

1. In medium bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, green onions, cilantro, peanut butter, brown sugar, ginger root, garlic, lime rind, pepper flakes and turkey. Cover and regrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. Unfold lavosh. Drain turkey mixture, if necessary (I don't b/c we love all the juices!), and spread evenly along the lavosh.

3. Fold in bottom and top portions. Roll up from side to completely enclose filling. Cut into manageable portions.

ENJOY!

Lavosh is a round, thin bread that comes in both soft and crisp versions; it's available in Middle Eastern markets and in most supermarkets.
