Easy to make! I made these last night for dinner and they turned out good but I had to make some changes to the recipe to make them taste good for me! The hoisin sauce gave it a great taste but I was afraid to use the chinese five spice powder because of the smell and taste of it. I added some additional spices that I had in my cupboard and also added low sodium soy sauce and some white wine vinegar to give it a punch. I will definitely make these again but with the modified recipe! Pros: very easy to make and a healthy recipe! Cons: a little bland five spice powder was not tastey
Change it up for lunch! Yum yum yum! I really loved this recipe! The filling was so flavorful especially with a drizzle of sriracha for extra spice. They're a bit messy so don't try to multitask over your paperwork! If you can dry the lettuce leaves without tearing them that'll probably help too. Also the hearts of lettuce and smaller leaves can be chopped and added to your next salad. Pros: Satisfying Cons: Messy to eat
Missing something This recipe is seriously lacking something. I can't put my finger on it but adding soy sauce helped. It needs more moisture and my husband said the 5-spice blend gave him a headache because it smelled so bad when it was cooking. I wont make this again.
Tasty recipe! Easy ro make on a weeknight. I added diced zucchini to the turkey mix. I used carrots radishes cilantro and jalapeno to finish. Didn't have any hoisin sauce so I took the advice from another reviewer and made my own. I would make this again!
Delicious! I loved these! I did have to adjust the recipe a bit. I couldn't find 5-spice so I threw in a few shakes of a thai seasoning I had at home. I also didn't add as much broth because it seemed like it would make it too soupy/watery (I probably only added 1/8-1/4 cup). I didn't have fresh herbs so I added 2 tsp of frozen fresh cilantro to the meat mixture. The water chestnuts give great crunch! I will definitely make this again!
Exactly what I was looking for! I made this on a lark so I didn't have all the ingredients (scallions - used onions) water chestnuts etc) but it was fantastic. I never usually write a review but the recipe was exactly what I have been looking for. I've tried many other turkey lettuce wrap recipes before but they can't compare. The combination of fish sauce with the fresh basil and mint from the garden (and a little sriarcha) put this meal to another level. Everyone loved it and we ate every bit of it.
Delicious and Easy! This came out so awesome and it's perfect for someone who lives alone - a filling dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day or two. I added almost twice as much hoisen sauce & that added a lot more flavor. I only used cilantro for my herb & didn't feel like it was missing anything. I bet this would also be good with tofu substituted for the turkey...
Absolutely loved this recipe! It was extremely yummy! I could not find the five spice blend in the store so I just bought the seasonings all separate and made my own. Still turned out wonderful! Will definitely make it again!
Pretty good and easy to make. added more hoisen sauce and a dash of white pepper.
