1 pkg button mushrooms, chopped (10oz.)
Salt and pepper to taste

8 large lettuce leaves or whole wheat-tortillas to use as wraps
Thai Sauce (Optional):
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Instructions:
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook chicken/turkey until brown.
Add in the water chestnuts, onion, garlic, peppers and mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
To assemble, place some of the meat and veggie mixture into each lettuce leaf or tortilla. Add sauce, sprinkle with peanuts and green onions, wrap, and serve.
Quick Tip! Romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, kale and cabbage are great leaves to use as a wrap. They are all large and strong and can support the delicious fillings in your wrap. Use the lettuce for your wrap either raw or lightly steamed.
