Turkey Lettuce Wraps

<<

Turkey Lettuce Wraps are a healthy snack or meal for anyone concerned about calories, nutrition and carb intake. The lettuce replaces the traditional tortilla-type wrap. The crunchy texture of the ingredients and Asian flavours add interest to this very guilt-free dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tbsp. oil
• Drop or two of sesame oil
• 1/4 c. sliced almonds, toasted or peanuts
• 1/2 cup carrots, grated
• 1 cup cole slaw mix
• 1 head Boston lettuce (a 'thinner' variety will not hold the ingredients)
• Fried noodles, if desired
• Peanut or Teriyaki sauce, for dipping

Brown turkey in oil(s) over medium high heat adding vinegar and soy sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes until meat is no longer pink in the middle. Drain, if necessary.

Let meat cool off while you assemble the rest of the ingredients for the Turkey Lettuce Wraps.

Lay out lettuce on a counter or table. Place almonds, carrots, coleslaw mix and fried noodles in separate bowls for easy assembly of wraps.

In the centre of each lettuce leaf, leaving room on all sides, add couple of spoonfuls of turkey filling followed by a few almonds, carrots, cole slaw mix and noodles. At this point, you may a few drops of dipping sauce to the turkey mixture. If not, use it for dipping the finished product.

Fold over left and right sides of lettuce to cover turkey mixture. Roll up lettuce keeping sides tucked in. If necessary, secure lettuce with a toothpick.

You can slice the wraps in half and dip open ends in the sauce of your choosing.
