The "Quick and Easy" lunch version
(i.e. The "I must prepare something fast, a bit healthier than that burger I really want, totally YUMMY" recipe)
Perk - I can get a full weeks worth of lunches out of these if I pair it with another fruit and veggie (clementines and bell peppers this week)
The ingredient amounts are 100% adjustable. Keep that in mind when mixing everything up....some folks like 'em a bit stronger or weaker.
Just play till you get it right
Ingredients
1/2 of a long seedless cucumber (diced)
1/4 cup matchstick carrots
Romain lettuce (I like to cut each leaf in half to make the end result a bit more manageable)
About 1 1/2 cup of pre-cooked shredded turkey (Helloooooo, Thanksgiving leftovers)
1 tsp hot sesame oil (regular sesame oil would work fine here too if you dont like spicy foods)
1 tbs rice vinegar
3-4 tbs Iron Chef General Tso sauce (this is actually pretty high in sugar content, so try to use it sparingly)
Directions
1. Mix cucumber, carrot, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl
2. Over medium heat, stir General Tso sauce and turkey together until warm
3. Spoon a preferred amount of both mixtures onto a Romain lettuce leaf. Roll and enjoy!

This is a favorite with our family. Yummy!
Thank you!this could not have been timed more perfectly. Well I guess the other night after an unsatisfying dinner when I said, I could really go for some Chinese food. Anyway, in keeping with new years resolutions eating healthy, losing weight, bla bla bla, I've been wanting to gouge my eyes out. This looks healthy AND yummy! Putting it on next weeks grocery list for' sho.
