I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make, but the flavor was just okay. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of lettuce.

The turkey was a bit dry, but the lettuce cups and the sauce were delicious. I would recommend using a different type of ground turkey or cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

These wraps were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them! I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
