Scott and I went to Pei Wei and tried the lettuce wraps. They were so delicious we decided to try to make them at home. I recently got a new cook book and "viola" there was a lettuce wrap recipe. The wraps aren't quite as good as Pei Wei but this meal is super easy and sure to please :)
We added cashews and apples :)
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pounds extra-lean ground turkey
- 1 package (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry vegetable blend, thawed
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 10 Boston lettuce leaves
- Additional hoisin sauce, optional
Directions
- In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
- Coarsely chop mixed vegetables; add to the pan. Stir in the teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, ginger, vinegar and oil. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Remove from the heat; stir in onions. Place a scant 1/2 cup turkey mixture on each lettuce leaf; fold lettuce over filling. Serve with additional hoisin sauce if desired. Yield: 5 servings.
