Why This Recipe is Best

My husband HATES mushrooms, and since PF Chang’s lettuce wraps are 99% mushroom, I had to figure out a replacement, and fast!

Well, I did it! And, the best part, it simmers all day in the slow cooker (totally easy), and when you are ready to serve, you just scoop it into your lettuce leaf!

  • Healthy, flavorful meal (low-carb, too)
  • Hands-off slow cooker dinner

Ingredient Notes

  • Ground Turkey – You can swap out ground chicken for the ground turkey or even use mushrooms instead.
  • Hoisin Sauce – This is a sweet and spicy red sauce made with soybeans. Imagine a thick bbq sauce for Chinese cooking!
  • Soy Sauce – You can opt for a low-sodium soy sauce if you want to control the amount of sodium in these lettuce wraps.
  • Hot Chili Oil – This adds some extra flavor to the recipe but isn’t super spicy.
  • Canned Foods – You can find cans of bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and bean sprouts in the international or Asian section of most grocery stores.
  • Iceberg Lettuce – This is traditional for lettuce wraps and has great crunch, but you could also try using butter lettuce if you prefer.

Easy Instructions

Step 1. Brown Meat: In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey (or chicken) and cook over medium high heat with the chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain off excess liquid.

Step 2. Slow Cook: Add cooked turkey and onion to slow cooker along with celery, ½ cup hoisin sauce, soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili oil, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours in the slow cooker.

Step 3. Garnish: Before serving, mix in a can of bean sprouts and the chopped cilantro. Serve by scooping a spoonful of the turkey mixture into the lettuce leaves. Drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup hoisin sauce. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

  • Be sure to finely chop the onion and celery so they incorporate well with the rest of the ingredients.
  • You’ll use 1/2 cup of hoisin sauce in the slow cooker and reserve the remaining 1/4 cup called for in the recipe to drizzle on top of your lettuce wraps when serving. It’s the perfect topping!
  • Cilantro adds a great bit of freshness and brightness to the turkey mixture, but if you are a hater, you can simply skip it.
  • Many new models of crockpots and slow cookers have a saute function, eliminating the need to dirty another dish. Might be time for an upgrade!
  • You can also make this recipe stove top instead of in the slow cooker. See below for details.
