Spiced turkey lettuce wraps from Home Skillet Cooking are a low carb meal.  Ground turkey is flavored with ground ginger, cinnamon and allspice.  Chopped cremini and shitake mushrooms are added to the mixture along with oyster sauce and soy sauce. Each lettuce cup is topped with a tart Granny Smith apple salsa.  These Asian inspired wraps are an easy dish that can be cooked any night of the week.
