Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

After the holidays I am ready to set goals and think more about healthy recipes that are still flavorful. These Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps are bursting with flavor and have so many great ideas to go with them.

How do you make Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps?

  • In a medium sized skillet over medium high heat, add the ground turkey. Cook and crumble until it is almost cooked throughout.
  • Add carrots, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions and garlic. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until turkey is cooked and veggies are tender.
  • Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili paste. Stir and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Serve on butter lettuce leaves.

What Lettuce Is Best For Making Lettuce Wraps?

  • Iceberg Lettuce gives them a nice crispiness but they are harder to roll compared to other lettuce types.
  • Bib Lettuce, Boston or Green Leaf all have a large, loose head and a dark green leaf.
  • Butter Lettuce (recommended) is a softer lettuce, thick, large leaves and easy to roll.
