Lettuce Wraps

We had these at a friend's house on Saturday night. So delicious and low fat.

3 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp chopped onions
1 tsp Garlic, minced
4-5 leaves iceberg lettuce
1 lb ground turkey

Special Sauce:
1/4 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Water
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
2 Tbsp Ketchup
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/8 tsp Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp Hot Mustard
2 tsp Water
1-2 tsp garlic and red chile sauce

Stir-Fry Sauce:
2 Tbsp Soy sauce
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Rice Vinegar

Make the special sauce by dissolving the sugar in water. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Mix well and refrigerate this sauce until you're ready to serve.

Combine the hot water with the hot mustard and set this aside as well.

Eventually add your desired measurement of mustard and garlic chili sauce to the special sauce mixture to pour over the wraps.

Bring oil to high heat in a work or large frying pan. Brown ground turkey. Add garlic.

Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together.

Add the stir fry sauce to the pan and saute the mixture for a couple of minutes then serve in lettuce wraps with the special sauce either ladled over the top of the meat mixture or a small bowl for dipping the lettuce wrap.

We also took some of the special sauce and made stir fry noodles as well. You can saute your favorite vegetables while you cook rice noodles. Then add the rice noodles to the vegetables and add a couple ladles of the sauce and bring warm.
