Recipe of the Month
Five-Spice Turkey & Lettuce Wraps
From: EatingWell
4 servings, 1 1/4 cups filling
for about 6 wraps each
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup instant brown rice
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, (see Note)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, mint and/or chives
- 1 large carrot, shredded
Preparation
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey and ginger; cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until the turkey is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, bell pepper, water chestnuts, broth, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder and salt; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- To serve, divide lettuce leaves among plates, spoon some of the turkey mixture into each leaf, top with herbs and carrot and roll into wraps.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the filling (through Step 2), cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Serve cold or reheat in the microwave.
- Notes: Hoisin sauce is a spicy, sweet sauce made from soybeans, chiles, garlic and spices. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year.
- Often a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns, five-spice powder was originally considered a cure-all miracle blend encompassing the five elements (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty). Look for it in the supermarket spice section.

 Pool Class Etiquette
An aquatic group fitness class provides a guided workout and the camaraderie of exercising with others. Observing basic etiquette allows you and the other participants to get an effective, enjoyable workout from the class. Below are some 'Etiquette Guidelines' that many facilities, including Fitness Pointe, request that you observe so that all participants can have a fun, enjoyable, positive aquatic exercise class experience.
1. Ready, Set, GO!!
Arriving on time to class allows everyone to start promptly without interruptions. Participants who arrive late disrupt the class whether or not it is already underway. In addition, coming to class late puts you at risk for injury if you miss the warm up portion of the aquatic exercise class.
2. Be a Good Example
To get the most fitness benefits from the class, you need to be aware of the class instructions provided by our credentialed aquatic instructors. To best accomplish this, focus on the instructor and participate in the aquatic class to the best of your ability. Set a good example of proper etiquette by limiting the time you spend talking to others in the class, as this will not only decrease the fitness benefits you receive, but can also disrupt the learning environment of those around you.
3. Individual Needs Welcome
Aquatic exercise classes involve a wide range of exercises and movements, some of which require a significant amount of space and/or traveling, which may not be appropriate for all participants. Aquatic class participants with individual/special needs are encouraged to always work at their own pace and position themselves in the class to provide the safest environment for themselves, as well as the other class participants. Our experienced aquatic staff can assist in making additional class recommendations, should you need.
