I just made this a few nights ago.\u00a0 I’ve seen these and have always wanted to try them.\u00a0 Now I have to ask myself “Why haven’t I tried them before”.\u00a0 This was so good.\u00a0 Well at least I thought they were.\u00a0 My kids didn’t like them as much but that leaves more for me right!?\u00a0 I thought I would share the recipe with you so maybe you could give them a try.\u00a0 I got this out of my “Taste of Homes” cook book.<\/p>\n

Asian Lettuce Wrap<\/p><\/div>\n

Asian Lettuce Wraps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1 lb ground turkey<\/p>\n

1 16 oz package frozen oriental mixed vegetables, thawed<\/p>\n

4 green onions<\/p>\n

Sauce:<\/strong> 1\/3 Cup teriyaki sauce<\/p>\n

1\/4 Cup hoisin sauce<\/p>\n

3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger root<\/p>\n

3 cloves of garlic<\/p>\n

1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar<\/p>\n

1 Tbsp sesame oil<\/p>\n

I used fresh veggies instead of frozen.\u00a0 Just use what you would normally get in the package.\u00a0 I used red pepper, onion, mushroom, green and yellow zucchini, and cabbage.\u00a0 I chopped them into small pieces and put them aside.\u00a0 Then I mixed the sauce and set it aside.\u00a0 Earlier in the day I picked fresh lettuce from my garden washed it and put it in the fridge.\u00a0 Heat a little bit of canola oil in a pan and then brown the turkey.\u00a0 After the turkey is brown add the veggies and mix.\u00a0 Pour the sauce over the top and mix until everything is covered well.\u00a0 Cook for another 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally.\u00a0 You know it’s done when the veggies are still\u00a0 crisp tender and everything is heated through.\u00a0 Sprinkle with the green onions.\u00a0 Put a spoonful into a lettuce leaf\u00a0 and enjoy.\u00a0 Our leaves were a little small so we wrapped them like a taco instead of a burrito.<\/p>\n

Tip:\u00a0 When I buy ginger root I never use it all.\u00a0 I peel the whole thing and put the rest in the freezer.\u00a0 It last for quite a while in the freezer.\u00a0 When I need some minced ginger root I just take it out and grate however much I need and then put it back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
