Hoisin Turkey Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for new dinner ideas.  Especially when the kids are in town...one doesn't eat red meat, another wants high protein.  This recipe will work for both; I found it in the April/May 2017 issue of Simple and Delicious.  Although I am guessing I will need to double it...at least!

1lb. lean ground turkey
1/2 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 C. hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger root
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves

In a large skillet, cook and crumble the turkey with vegetables in sesame oil over medium high heat until the turkey is not longer pink, 8-10 minutes, breaking turkey into crumbles.  Stir in hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat until sauce is lightly thickened, about 5 minutes.  Serve in lettuce leaves.
