Turkey & Veggie Lettuce Wraps Lean, fresh, and ready in 15 minutes — crisp lettuce cups instead of a bun or tortilla. SERVES 4 • TOTAL TIME: 15 min Ingredients • 1 lb ground turkey • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce • 1 tbsp rice vinegar • 1 tbsp honey • 1 cup shredded carrots • ½ cup water chestnuts, chopped (canned, drained) • 3 green onions, sliced • 12 butter lettuce leaves • 1 tsp sesame seeds • 2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional) Instructions 1. Cook the turkey. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey, breaking it up as it browns, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. 2. Add aromatics. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. 3. Sauce it. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey, stir to coat, then mix in the shredded carrots and water chestnuts. Cook until the carrots just soften, about 2 minutes. 4. Build & serve. Remove from heat and stir in half of the green onions. Spoon into butter lettuce leaves, and top with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha if using. NOTE: Kid-friendly version: skip the sriracha in the pot and serve it on the side for the adults. Ground chicken works just as well if that's what's on hand.
