Ingredients
  

For the Turkey Filling:

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper, diced (any variety)

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Peach Glaze:

1 cup fresh peaches, diced (or use frozen if out of season)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired heat)

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

For Assembly:

1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce, leaves carefully separated

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Chopped peanuts or cashews (optional), for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Glaze:

    - In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper.

      - Heat over medium heat until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the peaches become soft and syrupy.

        - Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

          Make the Turkey Filling:

            - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onions become translucent.

              - Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the turkey is browned and fully cooked through.

                - Introduce the diced bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, soy sauce, grated ginger, and hoisin sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

                  - Season with salt and black pepper to taste before removing from heat.

                    Assemble the Wraps:

                      - Take a lettuce leaf and place it on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the turkey filling into the center of the leaf.

                        - Drizzle the prepared peach glaze over the filling, add the chopped nuts for crunch if desired, and top with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for brightness.

                          - Carefully roll or fold the lettuce around the filling to encase it, creating a wrap.

                            Enjoy!

                              - Serve the wraps immediately for a fresh and delightful experience. Relish in the combination of savory turkey and sweet peach glaze with each bite!
