Ingredients
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup reduced sodium teriyaki sauce
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 cup chopped water chestnuts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 fresh lettuce leaves
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until no lumps remain, then stir in the teriyaki sauce to create a glaze mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and the prepared teriyaki-cornstarch glaze, mixing well to coat all the meat.
Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the turkey evenly.
Spoon the teriyaki turkey mixture into each fresh lettuce leaf and serve immediately.
