Im a huge fan of PF Changs lettuce wraps but everytime I order them I realize they have a ton of oil, making them not so healthy. Here is a cleaner recipe I found on Pinterest (Eat Yourself Skinny) that tastes SOOO good! These are perfect for a girls night in or when you don’t feel like having a heavy meal! I will definitely be making these often!!
Ingredients:
One package of lean ground turkey
12 Boston Lettuce Leaves (I used Iceberg)
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Garlic Clove minced (I forgot to use this and still turned out great)
1/8 tsp Ground Ginger
2/3 cup finely chopped green onion
8oz can of water chestnuts (drained coarsely chopped)
3 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tsp Chili Paste
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes or until turkey is browned. Stir to crumble. Combine turkey mixture, onions and chopped water chestnuts in a large bowl, stirring well, and set aside.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar and roasted red chili paste and drizzle over the turkey mixture. Toss to coat completely. Add about 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture to each lettuce cup and enjoy!

I love lettuce wraps too, I may have to try this. The last time I made them, I just threw what I had together and tossed it in lettuce. 🙂 So…maybe it'll be good to have a guide? Ha!

yummmmmm!I love love love lettuce wraps!
Hi Andee, Iv been following your blog and facebook for a few weeks now all the way from Scotland and I love it! It has also inspired me to start eating better, less processed food, cupcakes etc and start trying all the products you mention. Got a jar of coconut oil today – just need to figure out what to do with it! I wondered if there was some way you would be able to post a general note in regards to when nutritional values/labelling I should be looking for and avoiding. Im totally clueless with all the labelling and worried Im not confident in picking the best healthy/clean foods. Many thanks in advance xoxo
I found this blog on pinterest and i'm addicted!!! Made these lettuce wraps yesterday and they were awesome!!! my husband absolutely loved it!!! thanks soo much and keep doing what you do!!!
