Serves 4 | 7 ProPoints/400 Calories per portion (approx)

Ingredients
160g brown rice
1 medium onion (red or white)
2 carrots (medium size)
2 celery sticks
500g lean turkey breast mince
1 tspn chilli powder
1 tspn chilli flakes
Salt and pepper
Water
2 dstspn artificial sweetener
6-8 Little Gem lettuces (depending on size)

Method
1) To a saucepan of boiling water, add a pinch of salt and the brown rice.  Simmer for 20-30 minutes until soft.  Wash the outer 3-5 leaves of the Little Gem lettuces and allow to air dry (inner leaves can be saved for use in salads, sandwiches, etc).

2) Finely chop the onion, carrot and celery and gently fry in a large pan or wok with a couple of squirts of 1Cal spray oil, until soft.  Add a dash of water if the vegetables start to stick to the bottom of the pan.

3) Once the vegetables are soft, add the turkey mince and continuing frying gently.  The mince will tend to 'clump' together, so keep 'chopping' with a fish slice (or similar) to break the mince into smaller pieces.

4) Add the chilli powder, chilli flake and salt and pepper (to taste) and stir thoroughly through the mixture, cooking for a minute or two until the powder disappears.

5) Drain the rice and allow to cool for a minute or two.  Add the rice to the vegetable/mince mixture and combine.  Once thoroughly mixed, pour in enough water so the vegetable/mince/rice mixture is 'wet', but there is no excess water in the bottom of the pan.  Add and stir through the artificial sweetener. Taste.  Add more chilli flake and/or artificial sweetener to taste if desired, along with another pinch of salt and pepper if required.

6) To serve, arrange the Little Gem lettuce leaves on a plate and spoon the mince/rice mixture into each leaf, portioning between four people.

Notes/Ideas
Leave out the rice and eat as a light lunch instead, reducing the calories/ProPoints as necessary.

Instead of Little Gem lettuce leaves, use a calorie controlled tortilla wrap instead, adjusting the calories/ProPoints as necessary.

Why not make a small bowl of homemade chips to place at the centre of table, to accompany the wraps?
