Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups image

Such a cool idea for a light lunch or even an appetizer simply served in small lettuce leaves. When I want to make it easier for my kids to eat, I mix it all up with shredded lettuce and serve in a bowl. -Diana Rios, Lytle, Texas

I substituted ground chicken for the turkey, and it turned out great! I also added some extra vegetables, like shredded carrots and bell peppers.
