After Stan had a heart attack I went searching for ground turkey recipes he would love. On the internet I found Turkey Lettuce Wraps by Melissa d’Arabian of the Food Network and after I saw the ingredients I thought I would try substituting our Classic Country Foods F.R.O.G Jam (Fig, Raspberry, Orange and Ginger)for certain ingredients in both the filling and the drizzling sauce. It worked deliciously! Stan loved the turkey wraps, and I found a delicious new use for our Classic Country Foods F.R.O.G. Jam. Leftovers get used up fast!
