lettuce wraps

lettuce wraps. yum.
one of my favorite memories from college is when mom and i would meet for a girls' weekend in birmingham. we would go shopping, watch a movie, and eat at pf chang's. it's one of our favorite restaurants!
we made turkey lettuce wraps last night, and they tasted just like the lettuce wraps from pf changs! we did not make a sauce to go with the wraps because the seasonings added a little kick anyways. mom and i had 3 lettuce wraps each and were stuffed! i think this recipe will make 12 wraps easily. so, if this recipe makes 4 servings, each serving is only 290 calories!
