I don’t know about you but I LOVE PF Chang’s lettuce wraps. I have to get them every time I go. I found this recipe today when I was trying to decide what was for dinner. I’m part of the Food Buzz site and they always feature different recipes from other food bloggers. I was inspired by this food blog.
They were quite simple and very good!! Kyle said “this one is going in the recipe book.” They even had a little spice to them. I made them with ground turkey instead of chicken. I didn’t have most of the ingredients. So Kyle and I headed to Kroger after our run this afternoon. Which by the way was terrible for me. Good thing I’m not running in the Little Rock Marathon! Kyle enjoys long distance running but I’m not a fan. Especially after a big lunch at Vino’s pizza today.
Served with an egg roll and Plum Wine
Brown the turkey with the ginger and garlic
While your turkey is cooking mix together your sauce. Most of these ingredients were found in the Thai section at Kroger.
Add the water chestnuts, onions, and mushrooms to turkey
Pour on the sauce and coat evenly.
Cut your lettuce
Place in lettuce and enjoy!
