Asian Lettuce Wraps

Asian Lettuce Wraps

These turned out really great.  I would have liked a little more hoisin sauce in the dish but hoison is relatively high in carbs and I wanted to keep the carb count per serving as low as possible.  When I make these again, I will cook the turkey and set it aside while the vegetables cook in a separate pan.  That way the turkey will retain its moisture

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Lean Ground Turkey

6 Iceberg Lettuce Leaves

1 Can Water Chestnuts

1 Large Rib Celery

1/2 Medium Sweet Onion

1 Clove Garlic - Minced

3.5 oz.  Baby Portobello Mushrooms

2 Tbs. Soy Sauce

2 Tbs. Hoisin Sauce

1 tsp. Chinese Five Spice

(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)
***Optional Garnish - Green Onion***

DIRECTIONS

Chop up vegetables

In a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, brown the turkey.

Mix in hoisin, soy sauce and chinese five spice.  Reduce heat to medium and cook 5 minutes.

Add vegetables, reduce heat to low-medium and cook for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Divide mixture among the lettuce leaves and pile mixture into the center of the leaves.

SERVE AND ENJOY!!
