2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a healthier option)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional for sweetness)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Wraps:
1 head of butter lettuce, iceberg, or romaine (leaves separated and washed)
Optional Toppings:
Chopped green onions
Sesame seeds
Sriracha or chili flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions:
Prepare the turkey filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Cook the turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned (about 5-7 minutes).
Add vegetables and seasonings: Stir in the red bell pepper and shredded carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Flavor the filling: Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Assemble the wraps: Spoon the turkey mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
Garnish and serve: Top with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of Sriracha if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a side of cauliflower rice or fresh cucumber slices for a low-carb meal.
Double the recipe for meal prep; the turkey filling stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
