No time to spare, with FLARE!

When you have no time to spare, yet you need to show some FLARE, try my favorite quick dinner fix and crowd pleaser, even the kids clean their plates with this one.

TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS
{They taste just like PF CHANGS recipe}

Cook 2lbs. Ground Turkey, over medium heat
Mash Turkey with a potato masher to get very tiny granules of meat, ADD SALT to taste

In a separate saucepan, heat 2 TBS Oil over medium heat then add the following ingredients in this order...
1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup chopped carrot, 1/4 cup celery, 1/8 cup water chestnuts
Simmer over low heat until vegetables are golden brown

COMBINE TURKEY WITH VEGETABLES THEN ADD 1/4 cup HOISIN SAUCE
COOK FOR FIVE MINUTES, OVER LOW HEAT, THEN TURN OFF
ADD 1/2 cup FRESHLY CHOPPED BASIL
SERVE IMMEDIATELY WITH FRESH ICEBURG LETTUCE LEAFS

OPEN AN ICE COLD BOTTLE OF YOUR FAVORITE ASTI SPUMANTI OR ASIAN BEER AND YOUR EVENING IS SURE TO BUBBLE WITH DELIGHT...
Have fun and add different vegetables or even Tofu for a VEGAN twist.
