Having two teenage boys and trying to stay on a diet can be impossible. I am really trying to reduce my carbs and I found this recipe on kalyn's kitchen blog. They loved it! Good for a phase 1 South Beach diet too.

These lettuce cups are a great way to use up leftover ground turkey. I also like to add some chopped water chestnuts and bamboo shoots to the filling for extra crunch.

These lettuce cups were a disappointment. The filling was bland and the lettuce cups were soggy. I won't be making them again.

I love these lettuce cups! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make them with ground chicken, but I've also made them with ground turkey and they're just as good.

These lettuce cups were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect amount of heat.

These lettuce cups were easy to make and packed with flavor. I loved the combination of the spicy ground turkey, crunchy vegetables, and cool lettuce. I'll be adding this recipe to my regular rotation!

The spicy ground turkey filling was delicious, but I found the lettuce cups to be a bit flimsy. Next time, I'll try using a different type of lettuce, like romaine or butter lettuce.

These lettuce cups were a huge hit at my party! The filling was flavorful and juicy, and the lettuce cups were the perfect vessel for holding all the delicious ingredients. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
