Recipe Ideas/Notes:

Serve Teriaki Turkey Lettuce Wraps with a delicious dipping sauce. I love to mix 1/2 teaspoon chinese hot mustard with 1/4 cup plum sauce and serve that with my lettuce wraps. This recipe goes great with egg rolls or wontons as an appetizer and rice or couscous as a side dish. Enjoy this healthy and delicious dish!
