Servings: 6
Total Time:

Ingredients:

• 1 package ground turkey (I think it's 1.25 lbs) or ground chicken
• 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped fine
• 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms, chopped fine (I used jarred mushrooms found in the Asian aisle)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (I used reduced sodium)
• 1 tsp oyster sauce
• 3 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
• 1 tsp sugar
• freshly ground white pepper, to taste
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• iceberg lettuce leaves, rinsed (careful not to break)

For the Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauces:

• 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1/2 tsp chili sauce (I used Sriracha)
• 1 tbsp warm water

Directions: 

Combine ground turkey, mushrooms and water chestnuts into a bowl.Combine soy sauces, oyster sauce, 1.5 tsp sesame oil, rice wine, sugar, and pepper in a bowl. Pour this mixutre over chicken and marinate for 15 minutes. 

Heat remaining sesame oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic; cook until golden, about 10 seconds. Add chicken mixture; stir fry until browned, breaking the chicken up as it cooks, about 5-10 minutes.

To serve, spoon 1/4 cup of the chicken into each lettuce leaf. Garnish with scallions and a spoon a little Spicy Hoisin Dipping Sauce onto each one.

Verdict: 

This was really good. Allison loved eating her "taco" of lettuce. I added rice to the lettuce wraps to make it more of a meal.
