Make sure to taste as you go along and adjust the flavors to your liking. This recipe is just like one I found in a low-carb cookbook. If you aren't doing low carb, you can use real sugar. Enjoy!

These healthy wraps are so good! The meat and vegetable mixture is full of delicious Asian flavors. Tangy and sweet with a hint of nuttiness, the dipping sauce it a super tasty complement to the ground turkey.

How To Make low carb low fat asian lettuce wraps with dipping sauce
-
1Whisk together the first 5 ingredients and set aside. Finely chop the water chestnuts, mushrooms, and scallions; combine and set aside.
-
2Heat pan to med-hot, add the vegetable oil, and put ground meat in pan breaking it up as it cooks. If you have a non-stick pan, you won't need oil. Cook until 1/2 of the pink is gone, about 5 minutes. Now add the vegetables and continue cooking for 3-5 more minutes until meat is done.
-
3Add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and continue stirring and simmering for about 5 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust to your liking. You may want to add more of the sauce ingredients. Scrape the pan to get all the bits up off of the bottom.
-
4While meat is simmering, combine the final 7 ingredients to make a dipping sauce. Whisk together and taste, then adjust to your liking. The sauce should be sweet and tangy and spicy if you like.
-
5Remove the outer leaves of the iceberg lettuce then make 2 cuts, one to each side, leaving the center section (use for a salad later). If using Romaine, trim the bottoms off and rinse. You will use these as "wraps."
-
6Serve the meat and lettuce separately. Put spoonfuls of meat in the center of a lettuce leaf, spoon some sauce on, and roll up to eat.
