Asian Turkey Lettuce Cups image

Such a cool idea for a light lunch or even an appetizer simply served in small lettuce leaves. When I want to make it easier for my kids to eat, I mix it all up with shredded lettuce and serve in a bowl. -Diana Rios, Lytle, Texas

The sauce was a little too spicy for me, but otherwise these were great.
