Cranberry Apple Lettuce Wraps

In an effort to use up the last of our turkey, I made these lettuce wraps over the weekend. They were a real hit!

If you’re all turkey’d-out, no worries. You can easily replace the turkey in this recipe with white beans, baked tofu, chicken breast or any other veggie.

These were a snap to put together, thanks in part to Earthbound Farm’s Easy Leaves – no washing, drying or trimming required.

Simply assemble the grain mixture then pile into crispy leaves of lettuce and enjoy!

I used both Romaine and butter lettuces and each worked perfectly.

Great way to use leftover turkey or chicken. Or make these vegetarian by adding tofu or beans in place of the meat.
