Amount Ingredient
1 tbl peanut oil
1 lrg onion chopped
1/4 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 cup purchased Asian peanut sauce
1 tbl hoisin sauce
1 tbl soy sauce plus
additional soy sauce for dipping
1 x cucumber peeled, seeded,

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Instructions: Heat peanut oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add turkey and saute until brown and cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 7 minutes.

Add peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce; heat through. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat in microwave or skillet, adding water by tablespoonfuls to moisten if necessary, before continuing.) Stir in cucumber and chopped mint. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer turkey mixture to medium bowl. Place mint sprigs and lettuce leaves on platter. To make wraps, spoon turkey mixture onto lettuce leaf, add a few mint sprigs, fold in sides over filling, and roll up. Pass additional soy sauce alongside wraps for dipping.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: These wraps make for an informal and delightfully messy summer supper. Complete the meal with a rice salad from the deli (adding diced bell peppers and a splash of rice vinegar, if desired) and ice cream sprinkled with minced crystallized ginger.
