Easiest Recipe For Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
I hate feeling like I’m on a DIET.
That is why I invest so much time into COOKING.
I figure that if I can eat something different everyday and enjoy it, the chances of me eating clean consistently are way higher. Actually I don’t figure…… Its 100%. And I find it to be the same for my clients.
Eat the same thing day in and day out and in a short amount of time, you will feel like you want to devour everything in front of you.
So not worth it.
Just invest a little time into planning your meals and cooking, and your results will be much better.
That’s why I wrote my Eat To Be Fit Healthy Recipe Book, I spent about a year creating recipes that were tasty, healthy and enjoyable. I was so excited to be able to share it with all those people that think that to lose weight and get fit you have to eat chicken, brown rice and broccoli everyday.
When I make my WEEKLY MEAL PLAN (which I do every single week), I make sure to put in a chicken, a turkey, a fish and then I will repeat one or 2 of them. But always a variety of proteins per week.
Ground turkey I find to be one of my favorites because its so versatile and you can enjoy it so many totally different ways. In meatloaves (OMG, I have the best turkey meatloaf recipe in the whole world in my book), meatballs, sloppy joe’s, chili’s, etc.
This recipe for Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps is to die for and I literally whipped it up in about 15 minutes.
I served it to the boys with brown rice but I had them on Boston Lettuce Leaves as wraps and they were insanely good.
I hope you add these to your meal plan next week. By the way, you better be making a meal plan every week. It makes your life so much easier, it helps you eat much cleaner and healthier and it actually saves you money also.
At least thats what everyone who follows my BeFit Moms Fat Loss Meal Plan Program tell me. They say they can’t live without my meal plans now that they are losing weight, eating more than ever and that their kids and hubbies actually love the meals. That’s my favorite part…… When the rest of the family loves “the diet meals” too. LOL
Here is the recipe, you have to try it.
And if you want to make your life easier because you don’t have time to make a meal plan or you don’t even know where to begin with making it or you don’t know what meals and foods will help you lose weight and get healthier.… Don’t worry, you too can join my BeFit Moms and get my Meal Plans as well. I will send you the Meal Plan, The Shopping List, The Recipes and even some Workouts. You are going to die its so awesome 🙂
Enjoy this recipe, its one of my go-to’s now.
