Well, I MUST be feeling better because I just wolfed down a bunch of these amazing lettuce wraps for dinner!! Please give these a try -- as with most of the recipes I share, this one is simple to prepare (I had 3 kids hanging on my legs when I cooked mine), flexible, doesn't dirty a kitchen full of dishes, and packs a lot of flavor punch!

Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
1 Big Head of Boston Bibb Lettuce
1 Lb Ground Turkey
1 Large Onion, Chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, Chopped
2 Tbs Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Hoisin Sauce
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tbs Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1-2 Tbs Garlic Chili Sauce (I used 2 and it was perfectly spicy...if you have a more sensitive palate use 1 or omit all together)
1 (8oz) Can of Water Chestnuts, Chopped
1 Bunch of Green Onions, Chopped
Cooked Rice (optional)
Directions:
Add ground turkey to a large skillet and cook over medium high heat until completely browned. Drain any excess fat. Add chopped white onion and garlic and cook until onion becomes soft, about 3-4 min. Add remaining ingredients. Stir to incorporate. Turn off heat and cover to keep warm.
Carefully separate individual leaves from the lettuce head. Wash each leaf thoroughly and place on paper towels to dry. Pat the tops of the leaves with more paper towels to dry further, being careful not to tear the leaves.

To eat, treat the lettuce as you would a tortilla. Place rice and meat mixture on top of a piece of lettuce, fold the ends of the leaf inwards and roll to close the leaf -- enjoy!
