Asian Lettuce Wraps Dinner

Ingredients:
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey 
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup julienned green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 12 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves
Directions:
  • In a large nonstick skillet cook ground turkey in oil for 4 minutes; drain. Add the mushrooms, water chestnuts, carrots, green onions, ginger and garlic; cook 4-6 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink. Drain and reduce heat to low.
  • Add teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir and serve with lettuce leaves.



Serve with brown rice (I bought the Costco pre-cooked found in frozen foods).

I also served this with a large mixed greens salad with red bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots, green onions, and Ken's Steakhouse Light Asian Salad Dressing.
