Who doesn’t love easy to make lettuce wraps, light and delicious and easy on the calories. My son who was back over the summer from University has been trying to lose weight and has been buying a lot of ground Turkey. I borrowed one of his packages to make this delicious meal.

The use of Asian seasoning like Soya sauce and Chilli paste gives the Turkey a real kick and pairs really well with the subtle flavors of the lettuce. I’ve used Radicchio as the wrap, mostly because of the great color and looks amazing in the photographs, but be warned that it is a tad bitter, ok a lot bitter so lettuce like Boston or Romaine will work very well too.
