Hey guys! Welcome to the first edition of the brand new segment here on the blog! I've called it Tastes So Good Tuesday's so you can imagine that it's going to be alllll about food! Trust me - you're going to want to forget Dominos Two for Tuesdays!

Today's recipe is a twist on one of my favourites! What I love about it is that it's so versatile; you can switch it up each time you do it; it's also super ridiculously yummy and I can't wait to have it for my dinner tonight!

Spicy Mince Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients (4 Servings)

500g Mince (any kind! my favourite for this recipe is Turkey or Pork mince)

2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)

1 Inch Chunk of Root Ginger (chopped finely)

1 Red Chilli (chopped finely) ***optional***

2 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce

Juice of 1 Lime

Zero Cal Cooking Spray

Lettuce Cups of your choice :)

Method

• Spray a large pan with cooking spray (I use a wok)
• Put Chilli, Ginger and Garlic into the pan and cook for 1 minute, keeping it constantly on the move
• Put the mince you've chosen into the pan and cook until browned
• Add the Lime juice and the Soy and cook for a further three to five minutes
• Add mince mix to a lettuce cup and enjoy!

That's it! Super simple!

Healthy Eating: Thai Turkey Burgers

I posted this recipe at the end of 2011 and it's a real family favourite here at Beach Babe HQ ;).

This isn't my picture but they look really similar!

We have it at least twice a month - we love it! It's so simple and so quick, the preparation process takes no more than 5 minutes and cooking time is about 20 minutes! 

They're super healthy too - MyFitnessPal has them down at 190 calories per burger and trust me they are huge!! You can serve them with almost anything as well. 

500g of Turkey Mince makes 4 burgers - 4 very big burgers!

You want to cook them in the main oven on Gas Mark 6/400 F/200 C for about 20 minutes or until cooked. 

The post I made about these before, with a full recipe and method can be found here :)
