Thai Turkey Lettuce Wedges

I love the flavors and the freshness of this healthy, Thai dish. I think the secret to this recipe's delicious sweet and spicy flavor is simmering the spices and liquid with the ground turkey.

My husband cannot stand ground turkey because of what it looks like raw. When he tries some of my recipes with ground turkey, he's been known to spit it out before he even gets a chance to really taste it. I know this recipe is fantastic because Mike said "You can cook ground turkey anytime you want, as long as you make it like this and I don't have to see it (when it's raw)!"
