From the kitchen of Janet B.

This low-fat recipe with wonderful hoisin-orange flavor is great as a meal or cut into rolled pieces & sealed with a toothpick as an hors d'oeuvre.

Prep time: Approximately 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS:
6-8 fat free or low fat flour tortillas (or you can use mandarin pancakes)
1 pound ground turkey breast
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
1 teaspoon peanut butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
2 cloves finely chopped fresh garlic
8 shiitake mushrooms with stems removed, finely chopped
10 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
1-1/2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce
6-8 lettuce leaves (1 per tortilla)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)
1 cup shredded cucumber (about 1 large cucumber)
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic paste (or more to taste)
fresh basil leaves (optional)

PREPARATION:
1. Follow directions on tortilla package for heating
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add turkey and cook, stirring often until no longer pink. Usually takes about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add oil to the skillet or wok. Add ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add shiitakes and scallions and stir until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce, orange juice, soy sauce, 1-1/2 tablespoons of water, peanut butter and the turkey you placed aside. Stir until heated through.
4. To serve, place a lettuce leaf on a warm tortilla. Spoon on some of the turkey mixture - enough to cover the length of the tortilla. Top with carrots and cucumber and a fresh basil leaf. Roll tortilla and serve or let your family or company make their own. Turkey mixture can be made in advance and served and re-heated.
