Lettuce wraps!
I love lettuce wraps. LOVE THEM. They’ve got that tacoesque feel when eating (fun, laid-back, also maybe a little upscale), but are filled with gingery, sweet, tangy, crunchy goodness!
Lettuce wraps also allow me to get my water chestnut fill without Husband knowing. I could eat water chestnuts straight out of the can. Husband could live the rest of his life without seeing another water chestnut and be happy. He has yet to catch on these are chock-full of 'em. DON'T TELL.
In addition to water chestnuts, this recipe also uses ground turkey. Which makes it so dang easy! The filling comes together in a snap.
Between you and me, if I were making these for like a game-day snack, I would definitely make the turkey mixture the day before/morning-of and reheat it. No need to be stir-frying and washing lettuce leaves last-minute.
These make a really delicious appetizer (of course!) but I also like having them as a meal in their own right.
