Slow Cooker Sesame Sriracha Turkey Lettuce Wraps

I like throwing everything in a magic pot, turning it on and coming back to a cooked dinner.  That is the case with this ground turkey.
 Sure you could easily cook it on the stove-top but I chose to go the slow cooker route this time around because that’s how I roll.  Plus, I bet lots of you didn’t even know you could cook ground turkey in the slow cooker.  It’s easy and it tastes great!  Try it sometime when you’re making a large batch of tacos or if you want to cook a large amount of ground turkey and freeze it for future meals. It’s a nice hands-off way to cook!

I love the spicy flavor or sriracha sauce and the crunchy sesame seeds in this recipe. I rolled mine up in a large lettuce leaf but you could eat in plain or over rice if you’d like.
