I make a lettuce wrap with ground turkey, chow mein noodles, and a spicy sauce. It is what is on the lunch menu for the office this week. I set the turkey wrap itself as a food and made it public. The sauce I just add as an individual item.

4oz of turkey, 2 Pieces of Romaine, 1/4 chow mein noodles and 1 Tablespoon Spicy Sauce is about 300 calories.

16 oz tub sliced mushrooms
1 large onion, chopped
1.5 Tablespoons minced garlic (I like garlic, so adjust to you tastes if too much)
2lbs Ground Turkey
1 bunch of Romaine
Chow Mein Noodles
Worcestershire Sauce
Low Sodium Soy Sauce
Chili Garlic Sauce
Chinese Style Hot Mustard
Olive Oil

Put about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan, add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms start to darken and the onion start to become translucent. Add turkey, brown and drain. Add garlic, splash of Worcestershire and enough soy to cover meat but not make soupy. Cook for about 2 minutes. Put 2oz of meat mixture into one lettuce leaf, add 1/8 cup of chow mein noodles and spicy sauce (if desired). Serving size is 2 lettuce cups.

Spicy Sauce- 2 Tablespoons of chili garlic sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Hot Mustard, 1/2 cup soy sauce. Stir until combined.


Enjoy.

I eat lettuce wraps for lunch 4 out of 5 days at work. The last couple days I switched to salads because honestly I got a little bored. But let me tell you they are BOMB. Lettuce, mustard, cucumbers, tomato, avocado and a couple slices of deli meat (the 6 slices for 55 calories kind)

also ive done lean hamburger meat, with grilled onions and grilled mushrooms wrapped in lettuce. that was great too.
