Thai Style Turkey with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is a paleo and low carb, Thai inspired treat. Sometimes I just crave Thai food. But I’m afraid if I go to a restaurant, I will go crazy and eat all the pineapple rice. This recipe really helps satisfy my ” must have Thai food” cravings.

This recipe is an easy, no- brainer and very budget friendly since it uses ground turkey.

It is also excellent is lettuce cups if you don’t feel up to making cauliflower rice. I love it with the faux rice and the lettuce cups.

This my version of Larb.  Larb is a Thai dish that most Thai restaurants will have and is made with ground turkey or pork. I like to add hot chili sauce to mine but I know that may be too spicy for some people.

      Alejandro, It is in the ingredient list right below the ground cashews and above the lime cilantro rice: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp Sriracha to taste.

      Hi Rachel, I used Thai Kitchen Premium Fish Sauce. It only has the anchovies and salt. Its gluten free and soy free too. There probably is an organic brand out there, although I could not find it my area.
      sincerely, Stacey
