Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/4 lbs extra-lean ground turkey
    1 (16 ounce) package frozen oriental mixed vegetables, thawed
    1/3 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce (I bought organic brand at Whole Foods cuz it has natural sugar and small amount of it)
    1/4 cup hoisin sauce (also bought at whole foods)
    3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (I used natural peanut butter, no sugar)
    2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, root (I do not like ginger so I skipped this ingredient but I'm sure it's good with it)
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    4 green onions, chopped
    10 boston lettuce leaves
    additional hoisin sauce (optional)
Preparation
    In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir the turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Coarsely chop mixed vegetables; add to the pan. Stir in teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, ginger, garlic, vinegar and oil. Cook and stir over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat. Stir in onions. Place a 1/2 cup turkey mixture on each lettuce leaf; fold lettuce over filling. Serve with additional hoisin sauce, if desired.
