Made these tonight and I'm super-impressed. Great flavor in the turkey and the veggies not only make it good for me but stretches the meal too! Don't be intimidated if you don't have all of the ingredients. I didn't have hoison so I used a little extra Trader Joe's Soyaki. Delicious. I also served it with sriracha sauce and made this sauce to go with: http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/barbara-oseland/asian-turkey-lettuce-wraps/quick-easy-healthy-green-salad#.UG-Q5VbE6WE.pinterest Excellent!

Good N Healthy! I doubled the turkey and added red peppers & snap peas. Served it on Nappa cabbage which holds together pretty well. Also added some Sriracha for some kick. Omitted the Teriyaki to keep the sodium low and I can't even tell its gone. Topped with peanuts. If you like this one try the Asian Turkey Cabbage Cups also found on CL. Same concept with a few twists. Think I like that one better but they are both good.

This was very good, but I would guess it took closer to 45 minutes than the 30 stated in the recipe. Served with potstickers and edamame. I'll probably make this again.
