Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Let me start off by saying GO USA!!!  I am loving these olympics and have been struggling with how late I am willing to stay up to catch all the good stuff.  And although I would love to only enjoy “American Food” throughout this 30th olympiad, I have come to realize that the most American thing to do would be to eat multiple cultures cuisine on a daily basis.  And although I am sure lettuce wraps are American with a few asian inspired ingredients, I will let it count.  I have never made lettuce wraps and am so happy I did.  They are very simple and super healthy!  Low-carb and tasty?!  Yay!

First you cook up your ground turkey with a little ginger and garlic.  Then you chop up green onions and water chestnuts and mix them all together.

Then just mix up a quick sauce.

Then pour that sauce over the meat and toss to coat.

Scoop your mixture onto pieces of iceberg lettuce and enjoy!
