These Spicy Turkey Lettuce Wraps are one of our favorite light/low carb meals!
You could use ground chicken or beef in this recipe, but I especially love how the turkey is kind of a “blank slate” and really absorbs all of the Asian flavors. (Plus, Wal-Mart had a good deal on a 3lb package of ground turkey, lol.)
We have another dish we really like made with cabbage, turkey and Asian spices. I would love to get it made soon and share it with you as well. I forgot to buy cabbage, but if I tell my hubby it’s on the menu, I know he will go to the store for me!
I had to coax the kids into trying these lettuce wraps, but once they gave it a taste, it got a thumbs up from both.
What’s so handy about these Protein Blends is they make it so easy to incorporate more varieties of vegetables into our diet. (Plus, they cook in the microwave in about 4 to 5 minutes- can’t beat that.)
