Lettuce Week: Turkey Lettuce Wrap

C – We took another trip to Azolla Farm a few weeks ago.

We wanted to see what they were growing. We love that Scrivner grows seasonal things. We also had a big event where we had to wow a client.

So what did we find at the farm? Lettuce. Lots of lettuce. I love Scrivner for his kindness and generosity.

I really didn’t know what we needed for our client presentation. So, he just kept on picking things for us. Everything was super fresh and looking incredible.

Three heads of red butter leaf lettuce. Five bunches of little gem lettuce. Other types of red leaf lettuce.

When we got back we looked at the huge box of stuff in our kitchen. Oh, my goodness, we got a lot. I guess we didn’t need this much stuff for our presentation.

So what are we going to do? Lettuce Week? Yup.

And, Spring Sides Week, too. That’s next week.

What to do with all the lettuce. I couldn’t wait. First up, turkey lettuce wraps. Amazingly fresh and crispy red butter leaf lettuce paired with pickled carrots and onions, sliced rutabaga … also from Azolla Farm … and radish leaves.
