Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I've tried to make lettuce wraps several times and have never been happy. Let me tell you, THESE WRAPS ARE ON THE HOT TAMALE TRAIN!!!! Wasn't that so Mary Murphy of me??!! Really, these are delicious and taste just like "Chang's". Plus, they're easy AND a healthy meal!!!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey or chicken
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 can water chestnuts (finely chopped)
4 green onions, diced
4-5 tbsp. hoisin sauce
4-5 tbsp. soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup water
1 head iceberg lettuce (separate leaves to wrap meat into)

Put 2 tbsp oil in pan and brown ground chicken. Add water chestnuts and green onions. Simmer for a couple minutes then add Hoisin sauce, soy, garlic & water. Simmer for 5 minutes and serve on fresh crisp lettuce leaves. Does it get easier, I'll answer that, NO IT DOESN'T!!
