Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and finely dice bell pepper. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.
• Heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium- high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. Transfer veggies to a plate. • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes. Break up meat into pieces and cook until turkey is cooked through, 2-4 minutes more. • Return veggies to pan. Stir in sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until mixture is thoroughly coated, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
Open and drain chicken* or tofu; press out excess water from tofu with paper towels and cut into ¾-inch cubes. Cook through this step as instructed, swapping in chicken or tofu (no need to break up into pieces!) for turkey.
• Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with turkey mixture. Garnish with candied peanuts and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. TIP: Alternatively, serve turkey mixture, candied peanuts, and cilantro in separate bowls and let everyone assemble their own wraps!

Reviews from our home cooks
This is HANDS DOWN my favorite meal EVER from Hello Fresh! I almost ate the whole pan in one sitting when I was done cooking! It was sweet, but not too sweet. The Tofu was fantastic! The flavors came together fantastically! The lettuce gave it a terrific crunch. I will order this EVERY time it becomes available!!
This was easy and delicious. My husband said it tasted like PF Changs. Loved that we could use tofu as a protein option!
So so so good! Loved it with the tofu. Will absolutely make this for myself again. One negative-the portion size was a little too small. 1.5 servings instead of 2
So good! I didn't add the peanuts on top bc the dish was already very sweet. But the lettuce balances the sweetness out perfectly!
Delicious. I ended up just chopping the lettuce and eating it as a salad to save time and it was fantastic
Delicious. I never had tofu before. My wife and I enjoyed it.
Love these flavors. A great alternative to wraps or rice.
10/10 literally ate these 4x in a row. Needs more sauce please!
Deliciousness! My only piece of advice for improving this meal would be to send double the soy sauce and the sweet hot red sauce. To make the tofu 'meat' juicier. If you're gonna eat lettuce cups the meat needs to be lusciously juicy to make it work.
Yummy, but still a little tedious. If the package came with already candied peanuts it would have been quicker
