Turkey Lettuce Wrap by Anuhea Jenkins

Anuhea is back in the Cooking Hawaiian Style kitchen. Singer, songwriter, mom and over all great person we are happy she is with us this week. I always tell people I take partial responsibility for her success (jokingly of course) because I was lucky enough to get my hands on her first song and play it before anyone else could. She blew up and has been touring all over the world playing festivals, concerts and even singing the national anthem at a Minnesota Vikings game. She has been making major strides with her social media fans and if you are not following her you must. Her @anuheajams account on Instagram offers her merchandise and talk sessions on her IG livestream.
