Turkey Lettuce Wraps

We really love the Lettuce Wraps at P.F. Chang's so when I found this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I changed a couple things, and now we have it fairly regularly and love it! Although I have a hard time getting the lettuce to stay wrapped around the meat as I eat it, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know!
