This is just the recipe my boyfriend and I were looking for to make spicy pub-style lettuce wraps at home. We added matchstick carrots, 1/2 diced red pepper, green onions, peanuts, and crunchy Asian noodles for texture – the result was terrific! Thanks for sharing.

I’m a fan! The sauce is really great :) I used leeks instead of onions, shredded carrots and chopped cucumbers! Tasty!

This recipe was so delicious! I didn’t have ground turkey or chicken so I used chicken breast and cut it into bite sized pieces. The sauce was amazing! I would use this recipe again and again, next time I’m going to serve it with plain white rice. I added peanuts and green onions and the flavors were scrumptious.
