Instructions
In a large pan, brown the ground chicken or turkey over medium-high heat, breaking up the pieces. If very lean, you may need to add a little oil. Drain, if necessary.
Add scallions, garlic, water chestnuts, red pepper, and cook a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, fish sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar, along with your choice of items to add a little heat.
Add to pan and stir until ingredients are coated and the sauce is thick enough to cling to the turkey/chicken and vegetables. Add the lime juice. Garnish with peanuts.
To serve, spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of filling onto one lettuce leaf and roll it up, if desired. Serve with lime and sriracha or other spicy condiments, if desired.
