2. Prepare the Chili Pepper: Slice the fresh chili pepper in half and then cut it into quarters. Remove the seeds from the chili and set aside.

3. Cook the Turkey: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the peeled garlic clove (remove the germ if present) and sauté. Add the chili pepper pieces to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the garlic to turn golden, then remove it from the skillet. Add the turkey chunks and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. The turkey should be golden and cooked through by the end.

4. Shred the Turkey: Transfer the cooked turkey to a food processor and pulse a few times until the meat is finely shredded.

5. Toast the Cashews: In the same skillet, toast the cashews over medium heat, stirring occasionally until they become crunchy and slightly darker in color. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

6. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel the carrot, cut it in half lengthwise, and dice it into tiny cubes. Chop the parsley finely.

7. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet mustard, and honey. Mix well until the sauce becomes smooth and light, with visible dark specks from the Dijon mustard.

8. Assemble the Salad: Add the diced carrot and parsley to the shredded turkey and mix well. Stir in half of the mustard sauce to coat the ingredients evenly.

9. Prepare the Lettuce Cups: Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel. Use the leaves as cups to hold the turkey salad mixture.

10. Serve: Spoon the turkey salad into the lettuce cups, and drizzle with the remaining mustard sauce for added flavor. Your Turkey Salad Lettuce Cups are now ready to serve!
