Favorite Friday Recipe: Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are delicious and nice and light for summer fare.  B was surprised we actually had a meal without rice for once--it was that good!

I got the beautiful lettuce cups from Costco and kind of adjusted the recipe around.  It originally was inspired by this cashew and chicken recipe but I had no chicken or cashews so I just improvised! (which explains the lack of accurate measurements)

Ingredients:

• Ground turkey (1lb)
• Water chestnuts  (1 can chopped)
  
• Ginger (two thumbs worth)
• Garlic (3-4 cloves)
• Onion (1/2 chopped)
• Sesame oil (1 tsp)
• Rice vinegar (1 tbsp)
• Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
• Soy sauce (1 tbsp)
• Oyster sauce (2 tbsp)

 Directions:

• Cook ground turkey in your pan
• Add minced garlic, ginger, onion and water chestnuts
• Whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce and oyster sauce.  Taste and add more to your liking.  
• Add sauce to the meat mixture and let it incorporate for a few min before cooling and serving in lettuce cups
