Asian Lettuce Wraps

I got this recipe from YouTuber "How Jen Does It".  Once you get things prepped, it is a quick meal! Serve it with broccoli on the side and seasoned rice noodles.  Yum!

ASIAN LETTUCE WRAPS

1 large head Bibb lettuce (I've also used Romaine)
1 lb. ground turkey
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tsp. fresh ginger root, grated
1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. red curry paste
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, chopped
5 green onions, chopped

Rinse lettuce leaves, pat dry and place on a towel while you prepare the filling.

Stir together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger root, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and red curry paste.  Set aside.

Heat 1 Tbsp,. olive oil in a large skillet.  Add the ground turkey, chopped onion and minced garlic; cook over medium heat until no longer pink.  Drain.  Add sauce mixture, chopped water chestnuts and green onion.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes.

To serve, fill lettuce leaf with some filling and wrap burrito style.
