Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I LOVE the chicken lettuce wraps from PF Chang's or Pei Wei. But, they make for a pretty expensive dinner out. Tonight, I am trying my hand at making my own version of lettuce wraps.

Ingredients:
1/2 Pound Ground Turkey
Dried Asian Seasoning
Ginger, diced
1 Clove of Garlic, diced
Green Onions, sliced thin
Mushrooms, diced into very small pieces
Soy Sauce
Siracha Chili Sauce
Romaine Lettuce (I like using Romaine because it has more vitamins than Iceberg lettuce)
Cilantro

Serves 2

 Add ginger, the white part of the green onions, garlic, and dried Asian seasoning to ground turkey. Mix to combine. Heat some canola oil in a pan over medium high heat and add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula. Add chopped mushrooms and a couple of table spoons of soy sauce. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, continuing to break it up with a spatula.

Add the green parts of the green onions and chopped cilantro to the pan. Toss to combine.

Add filling to Romaine leaves. Serve with a sauce made by mixing soy sauce, Siracha Chili Sauce, and a tiny bit of table surgar. (The amounts of each will vary according to personal taste. Play with it until you find your preferred combination.)

You can also serve this meal with rice.

Do you have a favorite recipe that was inspired by a restaurant meal?
