Wow these were sooo good! And in my opinion, way better than the ones from PF Chang's! I used frozen pre-cooked cubed chicken (since it find it to be a lifesaver in many dishes and left out the mushrooms cause we don't really like them... I love that this recipe calls for "normal" ingredients that I have on hand, rather than having to buy 3-4 different bottles of stuff that similar recipes call for. We topped ours with chow mein noodles... This is probably my daughter's absolute favorite meal - I've tried several other recipes before but last night, I decided that from now on, this will be my "go to" recipe!

My 4 year old ate lettuce, I think that is really all I have to say. I will add this to the rotation. I also added brown rice to the wraps.

The flavor was very good, but the dipping sauce, I wish it is was more of a sauce and less runny. As I was browning the turkey, I added peanuts and skipped the mushrooms and water chestnuts as I didn't have any. I found I did need to add the oil when cooking the turkey otherwise it got dry when cooking the onions and garlic. And I added feta cheese and sour cream to the toppings and it turned out a very nice meal. My husband added more srirachi sauce to his as he dished his up. Fast, tasty, perfect for something easy on a weeknight.
