Tips and Tricks
Keep the lettuce separate - Add the warm filling shortly before serving so the lettuce stays crisp. Chop large turkey pieces - Smaller pieces are easier to divide among the lettuce leaves and make the wraps easier to eat. Watch the cranberry sauce - A small spoonful is enough. Too much can overpower the savory stuffing mixture. Use leftover stuffing as-is - There’s no need to dry it out or change its texture before adding it to the skillet.Storing and Reheating
Refrigerator - Store the turkey stuffing mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep the lettuce and cranberry sauce in separate containers. Microwave - Reheat individual portions of the turkey mixture until hot, then assemble the lettuce wraps. Stovetop - Warm the filling in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small splash of broth if it seems dry.Nutrition
