Someone mentioned P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps the other day and they've been on mind ever since. Cue walking into the grocery today and seeing iceberg lettuce on sale...the rest is history. Yep, we just ate YUMMY and HEALTHY lettuce wraps for dinner!
I combined several different recipe versions I found online.
20 min prep time
Turkey Lettuce Wraps
1 head iceberg lettuce, separated and washed
1 lb lean ground turkey, browned (could sub chicken, beef or tofu)
1 Tbsp olive oil (x2)
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ginger, minced
1 can water chestnuts, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp hot chili sauce
2 tsp dark sesame oil
Brown ground turkey over medium-high heat in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Set aside.
In same pan, saute chopped onion in 1 Tbsp olive oil.
After a few minutes, add garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine venigar, chili sauce and sesame oil. Mix well.
Add the meat back into the pan with green onions.
Serve with whole lettuce leaves and wrap like a burrito to eat.
I didn't make the sauce today because we were too hungry, but I think I will try it next time.
