So with that said I loved how easy this was. So easy. Although I made some changes so it doesn't really fit the title at all - I didnt use the slow cooker because it was faster for me just to cook it all up when I came inside. I used ground turkey instead of ground chicken because its what I had, I threw in some extra veggies, and I used cabbage leaves instead of iceberg lettuce. Cabbage packs way more of a nutritional punch with higher levels of fiber, vitmain C and beta carotene. Check out the website for the original recipe.
Fast Turkey Cabbage Wraps :)
1 pound ground turkey (or chicken)
1 inch piece of gingerroot minced
1 8 oz can water chestnuts
1 handful mushrooms (optional)
1 head of cabbage
2 tbl soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tsp chili garlic sauce (start there... add more depending on how spicy you like it!)
I ended up also adding fresh cilantro too which I think added a lot. Mint would also taste good!
Break up the cabbage leaves while your sauteeing. When the inside leaves start getting small just stop. I ended up chopping up that part and throwing it in with the meat for some more crunch.
In a bit of sesame oil or olive oil brown the ground turkey then add the ginger, mushrooms or whatever other veggies if you're using them, and I threw in that chopped cabbage too.
Add the wet stuff... hoisin, soy, and chili garlic sauce. Stir in the water chestnuts (I chopped them up a bit first) and the chopped cilantro.
Serve it on the cabbage leaves. Yup... its that easy!
Kevins out of town for the next week and a half which means two things: Theres a good chance I make dinners not even worth posting, if I even make dinner. And two, I won't be able to run outside for a while. Which means this Hungry Mom on the Run will have no new posts for a while.

On top of that... I'm lacking motivation lately. If you have any tried and true recipes please email them to me at HungryMomOntheRun@gmail.com!

Thank you so much for doing this recipe. This is always one of my favs at PF Changs so it is nice to see that it is actually something I can make at home.
I'm trying this one this week- I'll let you know how it turns out=)
Karen- I made these last night and I was so excited that they only took me 20 minutes to make (my kinda meal!) and they were SOOO good- Nic and I aren't the healthiest eaters so we might opt for lettuce rather than cabbage next time but it was so yummy and I got to use my new favorite pampered chef tool- the food chopper! I seriously don't know how I lived without that thing:)
