Asian Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce cups are a tasty, healthy, easy weekday wonder. Loaded in protein and veggies, these are a family hit. Cauliflower and carrots folded into the lean organic turkey meat boost up the veggie content even the kids won’t pick out. Bonus points if you use a collard leaf instead of bib lettuce to hold your mixture. I like to serve this with a green salad and terriyaki quinoa.
