You will love these!... The delicious filling is wrapped in a large piece of crispy lettuce. I have even made these with leftover cooked rice added into the meat filling. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken (a mixture of dark and white meat) or 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (a mixture of dark and white meat) |
1 teaspoon oil |
1 -2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (optional add in for extra heat) |
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic |
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (can use more to taste) |
1 1/2 cups white button mushrooms, chopped |
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped |
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce |
3 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter |
1 tablespoon sesame oil |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar |
1/4 cup hoisin sauce |
2 green onions, finely chopped |
salt and black pepper |
1 head iceberg lettuce, separated into leaves (or use a package of lettuce crispy wraps) |
hoisin sauce, for dipping |
Directions:
1. In a skillet cook the ground chicken or turkey in 1 teaspoon oil with the chili flakes (if using) garlic, ginger and mushrooms until the meat is no longer pink (about 5 minutes).
2. Add in the water chestnuts, teryaki sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, rice vinegar and hoisin sauce; cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add in the chopped green onions; cook for about 1 minute.
4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
5. Spoon the mixture between large lettuce leaves; roll up tighly.
6. Serve with hoisin sauce on the side.
7. Delicious!
