Lettuce leaves offer cool contrast to this spicy turkey filling with crunchy bell peppers and fragrant ginger. These wraps come together in just 12 minutes and are perfect for a fun lunch or a light dinner. Feel free to use as much chili powder as you'd like depending on your spice tolerance. Or try this recipe with celery or carrots instead of bell peppers to mix things up. Large iceberg lettuce leaves are strong enough to keep the filling in place, but be sure to serve with a napkin or two. We think ground turkey, with its rich flavor, is best suited to this dish, but you can use ground skinless lean chicken breast, if you prefer.
