The original recipe used ground turkey…….it’ ok, but I like ground chicken much better……I just think it has a better flavor. I also added ginger. Asian cooking needs ginger……just this bloggers opinion.
Aromatic, pungent and spicy, ginger adds a special flavor and zest to Asian cooking…..so, I added it. I love the way it smells cooking combined with garlic……ahhhhh!

Pre-packaged broccoli slaw mix is a quick and easy way to add crunch. Cole slaw mix would also work, but I like the broccoli.

The teriyaki sauce…..the thick glazey kind, not the thin like soy sauce kind, along with the cheese, makes a creamy flavorful filling.

All rolled into a flour tortilla, covered in foil and baked. In the past, this is where I stopped and they are great. How do you add more greatness……sauce of course!
