- Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground chicken or turkey, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 inch minced ginger, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.

- Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine hearts work well).
- Roll up tightly and serve immediately.
- Serve with extra hoisin sauce on the side for dipping.
