We often order the lettuce wraps in Thai and other oriental restaurants. Here is a recipe that tastes just like them. 

I will be making this one often.  We loved these wraps!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
1 lb. ground chicken or turkey
1 T olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, drained and diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 T. rice wine vinegar
1 T. siracha sauce (amount to taste)
1 T. fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (amount to taste)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (don't add the salt until you taste it.  It is pretty salty without the salt)
2 T. green onions, chopped
1 head crisp iceberg lettuce, rinsed and dried.

Heat oil in large skillet over med high heat.  Brown chicken.  Drain and add onions and cook until translucent.  Season with salt and pepper, but go easy.  Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.  Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, siracha, and pepper flakes and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Mix in water chestnuts and green onions.  Taste and adjust seasonings.  Serve by putting mixture is lettuce "bowls" and wrap and eat.
