November 8: Lettuce Wraps

I love lettuce wraps from PF Changs and so I sampled and experimented with a few recipes until I came up with this one. It is so yummy. Enjoy!

Brown turkey in a generous amount of olive oil. Add water chestnuts and teriyaki sauce. Heat. Add green onions. Place a 1/4 c portion of meat mixture on lettuce leaf. Add a spoonful of special sauce. Add any toppings. Roll up lettuce around meat mixture. Enjoy.
