  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 head butter lettuce or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add onion, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Pour the sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Spoon the turkey mixture into individual lettuce cups.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts, if desired.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like grated carrots or water chestnuts for extra crunch.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
  • These wraps are great for meal prep; simply store the turkey mixture and lettuce separately and assemble when ready to eat.
