Spicy Turkey Lettuce Wraps

I am going to make these next week.  Lettuce has been good recently and this will save some calories skipping the tortillas.  Chris said he would try the lettuce wraps is I went Asian with the flavors.

1/2lb. lean ground turkey
1/2 C. chopped peeled jicama or celery
1/4 chopped onion - I may do red onion slices
2 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp. minced fresh ginger root
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 C. julienned carrots
6 Bibb lettuce leaves
Hot mustard, optional

In a large skillet, cook turkey, jicama, and onion over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink, breaking up the meat into crumbles.  Stir in soy sauce, ginger, garlic and peppers.  Add carrot; cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until liquid is absorbed.

Serve in lettuce.  Add mustard if desired.
