Five Spice Turkey and Lettuce Wraps

I was really excited about this one. I really was. This was our first really disappointing meal.

There were several things we didn’t like about this one and we made very few changes to it. We couldn’t find fresh mint or cilantro at the grocery store on shopping day so just didn’t use them.

First, and probably the most obvious, was that it was completely over powered by the ginger. I like a little bit of ginger flavor in my Chinese food, but this was waaaayyy too much! It also had a strange flavor from the five spice powder. It was like there was too much spice and not enough actual taste. It struck me as amazing that something this strong could be a bit tasteless. The Boston Lettuce was not nearly as structurally sound as the picture led me to believe either. We not only didn’t like the taste, but it didn’t fill us up either. This was advertised as a lunch meal, not an appetizer.


It was, however, easy enough to make and did make enough for two servings of leftovers the next day (Lucky us, we got to eat it twice.) 

And we hated it so much, we forgot to take a picture. (sorry)
