Ground turkey, a sweet and savory sauce, and fresh vegetable slaw make this a fresh, healthy, tasty meal that comes together in just 20 minutes.

Turkey lettuce wraps asianI am pretty sure I am not alone in the dinner dilemma. You know, the, I never pulled something out to defrost, and I have an hour until the kids need to be in bed, and I have nothing planned for dinner? That dilemma! I have been facing it a lot lately, more than I care to admit. So I decided to start a 20-minute meal series. Every week I will share one meal that can be thrown together in just 20 minutes, and is healthy and delicious. This Turkey Lettuce Wrap recipe is the first of the series, and trust me when I say you NEED to try it. And don’t mind my wrinkly old hands!

bite of turkey wrapDon’t you just love lettuce wraps?
The health, the crunch, the freshness. They are fast and tasty. And customizable. You can add avocado, you can leave off the radish.You can drizzle a little soy sauce over the top, or some sweet chili sauce, or crushed up peanuts. Basically, it is really good as is and one of my favorite meals! But, if you want to change it to your personal preference, it will still be awesome!
