Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps - Bogle Vineyards

Ingredients:

1 head butter lettuce
1 package ground turkey
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can sliced water chestnuts, chopped roughly
1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp. chopped fresh ginger
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
1 red Thai chili, optional
Olive oil

Cooking Instructions:

Separate the leaves from the lettuce and wash and pat dry with paper towels. Put on a plate, or in a large zip lock bag in the fridge to chill.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil.
Sauté the onion in the skillet until slightly tender. Add the ground turkey and garlic, and brown well, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the water chestnuts, the chili garlic sauce, the soy, the ginger and the rice vinegar.
If you want to add spice to the dish, add slices of Thai chili and cook an additional minute.
Salt & pepper to taste, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
When ready to serve, place 2-3 tablespoons of turkey into each lettuce leaf, wrap and enjoy!
