Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup salsa
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 (15-ounce) can corn kernels, drained

Delicious and bursting with flavor, Asian lettuce wraps are a great idea for entertaining or a family style meal. Each person can build their own fresh, delicious wrap. Just be sure to have plates or napkins available since the mixture can sometimes drip a little. To serve, allow each person to spoon a portion of the meat into a lettuce leaf. Wrap the lettuce around the meat like a burrito and enjoy!
