Ingredients

Cooking spray
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon salt-free Thai seasoning blend (such as Frontier)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw
6 (8-inch) round sheets rice paper (found at World Market)
12 basil leaves
6 tablespoons light sesame-ginger dressing 

Preparation

2. Add hot water to a large, shallow dish to a depth of 1 inch. Place 1 rice paper sheet in dish; let stand 30 seconds or just until soft. Place sheet on a flat surface.
