Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe (shared by Susan)
Super easy, quick, and, I think, fairly healthy.
The key to this dish is finding the packet of sauce! I first discovered it in Anacortes, Washington. Not so easy in San Diego. After a lengthy search, I stumbled upon it at Cost Plus World Market, of all places! Many grocery stores have several varieties of Panda Brand sauces but not for lettuce wraps.
Lee Kum Kee
Panda Brand
Sauce for Lettuce Wraps
Recipe is on the back of the packet.
I usually use ground turkey. Easier to find. After that, it's carrots, green onions, water chestnuts and peanuts. I use heaping portions of all. Brown the meat in a little oil (don't really need the full amount, add the vegies, simmer and you are done!
Enjoy!
