Jenn's Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Dipping Sauce
-
After seeing, reading about and even eating lettuce wraps, I knew I could make them at home, so I did! and boy are they good and healthier than their buffet cousins Chinese and Thai food. Just as a side note, for all of you who are vegetarian, temp-eh can be used in place of turkey and it is still good, just use 2 packages and use soy that has no fish...
