Directions

For the Turkey: Add the turkey to a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and slowly 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, scallions and ginger and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

For the sauce: Stir together the soy sauce, gochujang, agave and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir some of the sauce into the turkey, a few tablespoons at a time, until seasoned to your taste. Set the remaining aside so you can use it over your wrap for more flavor.

For the sticky rice: Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, oil and 1 1/2 cups water in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot®. Cook on high pressure, 8 minutes. Allow the steam to release slowly, for about 5 minutes, then remove the lid.

Build your wrap anyway you would like, I prefer to put the rice, then the ground turkey mixture, cucumber slices, tomato, shredded carrot and avocado! You can even drizzle extra Korean sauce left over from what you did not put on the ground Turkey! It is so good. Also, it is way too big and will fall apart, but who cares it is amazing!
