Quick Weeknight Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps


Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 Cup finely chopped onion
1 lb ground turkey breast
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic salt (I used Lawry’s)
1 12 oz bag of Broccoli Slaw (found it at Super Target, saw it at Sprouts also)
1 small can drained water chestnuts
½ Cup Yoshida’s Teriyaki Sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Approximately 15 Butter Lettuce leaves (you can also use iceberg lettuce leaves)
Directions:
1. Place oil into a large 5 qt skillet or other large pan over medium heat. When hot, add onion and cook for 5 minutes to soften. Add ground turkey, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Brown and crumble until cooked through.
2. When turkey is cooked, stir in broccoli slaw, water chestnuts, teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Reduce heat to low until ready to serve. Serve spoonfuls inside lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
The Results:
This was good. I had never used broccoli slaw so I was interested in using it. I used iceberg lettuce. We had some watermelon when we were done. Dillon chose to have that fruit with dinner.
I got the recipe from http://www.pickypalate.blogspot.com/ Can you tell I love trying her recipes? :)

Looks good. I have a great recipe for chicken lettuce wraps that tastes very close to PF Changs. I will have to make it and blog about it soon.
