TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS

This is an amalgamation I created from several recipes, and is absolutely delicious. Feel free to adjust meat and veggies according to your taste. Serves 6 as an appetizer, 3 if prepared as a main course. Thank you to Lavender Lynn for putting this in her best of 2010 cookbook!
