Lettuce Wraps (Laura S.)

Ingredients:
8 oz. can of Bamboo shoots (drained and minced)
8 oz. can of Water Chestnuts (drained and minced)
2 TBSP of Hoisin sauce
2 TBSP peanut butter (I have never used this because I do not like peanut butter but the recipe calls for it)
3 TBSP of Water
2 tsp of soy sauce
2 tsp of splenda
2 tsp of red pepper flakes (less if you do not like hot, it gives it a definite kick)
Mix these ingredients together and set aside.

1 TBSP mined garlic
1 cup of chopped onion
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
Sauté these and then add meat to brown.
1/2 -1 pound of ground turkey (recommended), chicken, or beef.
1 tsp sesame seed oil (I have not always used this and it tasted fine)
When meat is cooked add bamboo/chestnut mixture and sesame seed oil. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Serve with:
sliced green onions
lettuce leafs
cooked rice (goes nicely with this dish)
