Perfect! Our family LOVES these wraps. The turkey and drizzle hit all the right notes, savory, sweet, spicy and salty. Thank you Melissa!! Please share more recipes! You’re the best!!

Nice easy recipe. I really didn’t like the finishing sauce. I prefer a more Asian taste. I thought the Dijon mustard didn’t fit the dish. But, otherwise, a good recipe.
Dan Stevenson
Great flavor. Quick and easy. I’ll be making this again soon.

Great flavors! This came together fairly quickly considering all of the ingredients. It can be a little messy trying to get the meat into iceberg lettuce, maybe I’ll try endive lettuce next time or serve over noodles.

I add 1-2 T of peanut butter. I serve it on butter lettuce and top with chow mein noodles. A big family favorite.

Let me start by saying the meat mixture is DELICIOUS! Only change I made was using butter instead of vegetable oil which browned it better, plus adding some salt and pepper. The sauce was a nice flavor but disappointingly thin, even without the water, which is a shame because the flavor of it with the meat was amazing. Will try thickening with corn starch next time.

So flavorful and easy! I was a little confused by the consistency of the drizzling sauce. I would probably do less then 1/4 cup water next time. The sauce makes the dish!

Very tasty!

This is an easy weeknight meal and my family loves it. Well-done.

Very good but messy! Used shiitake mushrooms for a boost of flavor.
