The Asian turkey mince could be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Just heat it up when you're ready to eat. Use a non-stick pan for best results! Place all ingredients in the middle of the table and let everyone construct their own lettuce wraps. Alternatively, you could place the noodles on your plate and top with all the other ingredients to make a salad.
