Ground Turkey in Lettuce Cups |
|
 The
crisp, cool texture of iceberg lettuce nicely offsets the spicy
meat mixture. This is a fun dish to eat with a small group of
friends. Place the filling in a shallow bowl or plate, serve
with a stack of large pieces of lettuce*, and let everyone
assemble their own. Note: You'll want plenty of napkins on hand
-- since you'll have to eat these with your hands, it gets a bit
messy.
* Easiest method for getting
large pieces of lettuce: Slice off the bottom of the lettuce
head. The leaves should now peel apart easily.
