A nice treat for Superbowl that is not fried or full of cheese, not that there is anything wrong with that. This is just a great alternative to have around for those who might be eating a little lighter. Just place them next to the egg rolls (wink, wink).
The flavors are fresh and full of flavor. They are so easy to make as well. And because the recipe is Asian inspired, it goes extremely well with our Pinot Gris. Yes it does, there is no denying how awesome that wine pairs Asian or any other spicy cuisine. It’s extremely versatile. For all of you who picked up some bottles this past weekend, give it a try together. You won’t be disappointed.
Anyway, enjoy this dish, I know you will.
Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, saute 1 minute longer.
Stir in turkey and cook, stirring until almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add broth and hoisin sauce. Cook, stirring and breaking up clumps of turkey, until turkey is cooked through and some of the liquid cooks down, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in teriyaki sauce, bean sprouts and carrots. (You should have about 6 cups of filling).
Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling into center of each lettuce leaf. Serve with soy sauce if desired.
