Kevin's Lettuce Wrap

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey, lean not extra lean

Fry turkey in frypan with a little oil until dry (moisture evaporates).  Can use pastry cutter to cut up pieces quicker.

Place in separate bowl and mix together well:
1 T shoyu
1 T cornstarch
2 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp sugar
1 T mirin or sake
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper

Stir mixture into frypan and mix well.
Add:
1 T hoisin sauce
1 T shoyu
Mix well.

Add 1/2 cup Mae Ploy sauce, mix well.  Cool mixture to warm.
Place small amount in very crisp iceberg lettuce cups.

Can add:
Small won ton squares julienned and fried in oil till crisp.  Be careful - it crisps quickly.
Green onions, sliced
Cilantro, whole leaves or 3 to 5 leaves together on tips
Basil, sliced

One way to separate lettuce leaves easily is to core it and run the hea
d under water until loose; drain well and separate, cut to size and store in grocery vegetable bags.
Everything can be made the night before.  Just rewarm the turkey.
