Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 medium ripe peaches
• 12 large butter lettuce leaves
• 4 green onions
• 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp peach preserves
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 lime
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. 1Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the ground turkey and break it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
2. 2Cook the turkey, stirring often, until no pink remains and the edges start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess liquid if the pan looks wet.
3. 3Stir in the minced ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 45 seconds. The kitchen should smell bright and savory.
4. 4Dice one peach into small cubes and fold it into the turkey along with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, peach preserves, and sesame oil. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats every crumble with a glossy peach glaze.
5. 5Remove the skillet from heat. Thinly slice the green onions and chop the cilantro; fold most of them into the warm filling, saving a handful for garnish.
6. 6Rinse the butter lettuce leaves and pat them completely dry so they stay crisp. Arrange them cup-side up on a platter like little boats.
7. 7Spoon the warm peach-turkey mixture into each lettuce cup. Dice the second peach into tiny cubes and scatter over the tops for fresh juicy bursts.
8. 8Finish with the reserved green onion, cilantro, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime over everything. Serve immediately so the lettuce stays snappy against the warm savory-sweet filling.
