Lettuce Wraps

Cooking for one can often be difficult.   I find it’s hard to make fresh food in small batches or food that keeps well.  When I was doing grocery shopping, one day, I came across lettuce wrap sauce mix.

I often have a love hate relationship with lettuce wraps.  I like the concept but often I am not a fan of the veggies included in lettuce wraps. So I invent my own concoction.

Amy’s Lettuce Wraps:

1-pound ground turkey

1-can baby corn (small or cut in half)

½-cup broccoli crowns

Sesame Seeds

Asian Noodles

½-cup chopped green onions shallots

1-package Lettuce Wrap Sauce Mix

Iceberg lettuce

Brown 1-pound of ground turkey, salt and pepper to taste.  While the turkey is browning steam the broccoli crown to tender.  Drain the baby corn and set aside.  After the turkey is browned add the broccoli crowns and baby corn and mix together.   Open lettuce wrap sauce mix and pour over the turkey, corn and broccoli mix.   Stir together, cover and let simmer on low to medium heat for five to ten minutes.

While mix is simmering peel off several lettuce leaves and rinse.

After mix has simmered empty mixture into a bowl and top with sesame seeds, noodles and green onions.  Spoon into lettuce leaves and enjoy!

I found the mixture reheats well several times either in the microwave or on the stovetop.  Additionally, the mixture is just as tasty on a bed of rice.
