Just okay. The peanut butter flavor was overwhelming. If I tried this recipe again I'd use a very small amount of peanut butter or omit it altogether.

Very yummy & tasty! Even my teenagers loved it. I used regular creamy peanut butter as it was what I had on hand. I also couldn't find Boston lettuce, so I used butter lettuce & it worked just fine. I used a frozen Asian Vegetable Stir Fry with water chestnuts & loved the crunchiness of it.

We made this into a stir fry over rice instead of lettuce. We really didn't care for it. The turkey was bland and the sauce was cloying and not very flavorful.

It was tasty. It had good flavor and no flavor was overpowering. We couldn't find Boston lettuce, so we used Butter Leaf instead.

The secret is in the sauce! So flavorful and yummy. I omitted the ginger-root and added a can of water chestnuts for added crunch. I made it my a wok and it was done in 30 minutes with no prep before. Leftovers were even better.

i made this as is with the exception of romaine instead of Boston. I put it in a flour tortilla - more carbs and calories - but it was great. Tomorrow I'll eat it in the lettuce wrap.

Doubled the recipe and so glad I did...gave us mucho leftovers!! Added sliced water chestnuts otherwise followed recipe verbatim. Absolutely delicious...couldn't stop eating it and then looked forward to leftovers next day. Used iceberg, romaine and Boston and each was fantastic! Do yourself and your family a favor and try this recipe!
