Notes

This recipe makes 8 cups of the chicken mixture with the mandarins and zoodles in it. Serving size is 1 cup or 1/4 cup of the mixture in 4 lettuce wraps. I added the zoodles raw but if you like them cooked just add them into the turkey mixture at the very end and let them heat for 1-2 minutes.
