Turkey Lettuce Wraps

While we are talking turkey, here is another recipe I use a lot that uses ground turkey. It is Easy Weeknight Turkey Lettuce Wraps from the beautiful blog called "Picky Palate". We love it with some mini eggrolls. Sometimes I also make some basmati rice to go with them. These are very low in fat and quick to prepare.


2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 Cup finely chopped onion
1 lb ground turkey breast
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic salt (I use Lawry’s)
1 12 oz bag of Broccoli Slaw (In the produce section by regular cole slaw and bagged salads)
1 small can drained water chestnuts
½ Cup Yoshida’s Teriyaki Sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Approximately 15 Butter Lettuce leaves (you can also use iceberg lettuce leaves or hearts of romaine)

1. Place oil into a large 5 qt skillet or other large pan over medium heat. When hot, add onion and cook for 5 minutes to soften. Add ground turkey, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Brown and crumble until cooked through.

2. When turkey is cooked, stir in broccoli slaw, water chestnuts, teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Reduce heat to low until ready to serve. Serve spoonfuls inside lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
