Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (lean)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped
- 1 head butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, sriracha
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes). Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned (5-7 minutes).
- Pour in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil, stirring well to coat the turkey. Add shredded carrots and chopped water chestnuts, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the veggies soften slightly. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of water or chicken broth.
- Wash and dry the lettuce leaves carefully, keeping them intact. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess. Choose the largest, sturdiest leaves for easier wrapping.
- Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sriracha for extra heat. Fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use lean turkey (93% or higher) to minimize excess grease.
- Chop veggies finely for even distribution and easier eating.
- Serve immediately to keep lettuce crisp.
- Double the batch for meal prep—store filling separately.
