Lettuce Wraps
These Lettuce Wraps were inspired by the samples at HB's 5 points Trader Joe's. Elliott ate it that day and I was sold trying it for dinner. There is a main ingredient found there (General Tsao Stir Fry Sauce), but you can buy another wok sauce or comment me and I'll try to figure it out!
Lettuce Wraps
1 head of iceberg lettuce (washed and pulled into pieces)
1 lb ground turkey
1 TB Sesame oil
1 TB soy sauce
pepper
3/4 jar of Trader Joe's General Tsao Stir Fry Sauce
2 TB garlic minced (I buy this in a jar at Costco)
1 red bell pepper diced
2 zucchinis cut into 1/2 moons
2 carrots shredded
4 green onions diced
1 handful of cilantro chopped finely
Heat a large pan with Sesame oil and add ground turkey. Cook for 5 minutes and then add garlic, soy sauce, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrots. Cook all until veggies are softening, then add the sauce. Cook for 5 minutes and then add the cilantro and green onions. Simmer 5 minutes more. Put a scoop of meat and veggies in lettuce pieces and enjoy!
