Spicy Turkey Lettuce Wraps

One of my challengers shared this recipe with me and after her entire family enjoyed it I had to give it a go. Boy was I glad I did. Much to my surprise this was delicious! The best part is that it is fixed approved. This recipe minus the sauce is 1 Red, 1 ½ Green, 1 Yellow and 1tsp.
