My daughter was feeling really rotten and run down. After yelling and screaming at her from many miles away she finally went to a doctor to see what was up. She was relieved and bumbed at the same time, she feared the cancer had came back but it was celiac a bad a case as the doctor had seen. Being bumbed and a working girl I told her I would find her recipes that were not to costly and sounded good for her and my 3 grand kids. After all I spend 75% of my day on my butt still.
I'll just keep adding as I get them. These are meant for supper or mid day dinner (liberals have dinner in the evening.)
You can make this in the oven you do not need to grill it.

Asian Lettuce Wrap RecipeFeeds 3-4
Cost $3.25 per serving
2 Tbsp canola oil
1.25 lb package of ground turkey (I use Jennie-O because it’s GF)
1 cup pre-shredded carrots
1 cup chopped mushrooms (shiitake if available)
1 can water chestnuts-chopped
2 cloves garlic-chopped or pressed
2 green onions-chopped
1 Tbsp ginger-grated
5 Tbsp GF soy or tamari
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 ½ Tbsp agave nectar (or sugar if you don’t have agave)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp cornstarch
1 head lettuce- bosten lettuce forms nice cups, however, iceberg is much crisper, but not as classy
2 Tbsp sliced almonds-for garnishing
Extra shredded carrots-for garnishing
2 Tbsp cilantro-chopped for garnishing-optional
Mix together your GF soy, rice vinegar, agave, and sesame oil in bowl. Set aside.
Cook the turkey in saucepan until almost browned. Pour out extra liquid. Add in carrots, mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic, green onions, ginger and the sauce mixture. Mix together well and let simmer a few minutes. Mix cornstarch with a few teaspoons of hot water and mix. Add to saucepan. Continue to let simmer another 5 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Remove from heat. The longer you let it rest, the better the flavor becomes.
