As a mother who works full time, I often arrive home from work spend some time with my husband and son, and then jump right into the kitchen. I try to limit picking something up from a drive-thru to once a week. (usually Fridays as a special treat for making it through another work week).
Since making dinner is sometimes a grueling task after a long day at the office, I am always trying to find things that are quick and easy to make but also healthy. This lettuce wrap recipe is something I got off the Weight Wathcers website and altered a bit. It only requires 6 ingredients and takes about 5-10 minutes to make. Two of these lettuce wraps are 7 weight watchers points.
This recipe is awesome because it is not only quick and low in weight watcher points, but it is also REEEAAALLLY good!
- 1 package Jimmy Dean crumbled turkey sausage. (This is pre-cooked and you can find it in the refrigerated section near the bacon)
- 1 tablespoon lettuce wrap seasoning
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1 8 oz can water chestnuts; drained and chopped
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 3 tablespoons low-soduim soy sauce
- (I added some green onion for garnish)
- Cook (heat up) the sausage in a medium non stick skillet (about 5 minutes)
- Stir in the lettuce wrap seasoning mix, almonds, and water chestnuts.
- Heat for 1 minute. Then add the soy sauce:
Heat for another 2 minutes. Then spoon 1/2 cup sausage mix into each piece of iceberg lettuce. Top with whatever garnish you would like.
This is perfect to have as leftovers for lunch the next day as well!
