Rainbow On My Cutting Board

I was dicing up yellow bell peppers and green onions and grating fresh ginger to make some Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps, a Weight Watchers recipe I came across recently, when I had to step away to address MAYHEM! and when I got back to the kitchen sink, it was like a rainbow was right there waiting for me, and I just had to take a photo.  This is probably against the rules somewhere (maybe giving credit where credit is due will cancel out the infraction!), nevertheless, here's the recipe for all to enjoy.

Lettuce leaves offer cool contrast to this spicy turkey filling with crunchy bell peppers and fragrant ginger.

Ingredients

	1 tsp canola oil
	3 medium scallion(s), thinly sliced
	1 medium yellow pepper(s), seeded and diced
	1/2 tsp ginger root, fresh, peeled and grated
	1 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast, lean
	1/2 tsp chili powder
	3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
	8 leaf/leaves lettuce, Iceberg variety (large)

Instructions

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, bell pepper, and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. 
• Add the turkey and chili powder; cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce. 
• Divide the turkey mixture evenly among the lettuce leaves; roll up tightly and serve at once. Yields 2 wraps per serving.

Notes

We think ground turkey, with its rich flavor, is best suited to this dish, but you can use ground skinless lean chicken breast, if you prefer. For a heartier meal, try using 2 (10-inch) flour tortillas for the wrappers instead of the 4 lettuce leaves, making half a tortilla per serving and increasing your PointsPlusvalue by 2.
