Notes
Paleo: Not all brands of fish sauce is paleo, so check the ingredients at the back of the bottle.

Turkey Substitutes: Feel free to use beef, or pork or even chicken! Minced lamb is a great alternative and is used a lot in Middle Eastern cooking. Turkey is lot less fatty which is our choice of meat.
