Ingredients
Protein
- 1¼ lb. lean ground turkey (or ground chicken)
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons roasted red chili paste
- Pinch of salt
Vegetables
- 4 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped
- 12 Bibb/Butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Cook the turkey mixture: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground turkey, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring and crumbling the meat, until the turkey is fully browned and cooked through.
- Mix the filling: Transfer the cooked turkey mixture to a large bowl. Add the thinly sliced green onions and coarsely chopped water chestnuts. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Prepare and add sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, lower-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and roasted red chili paste until smooth. Drizzle this sauce over the turkey mixture and toss thoroughly so that all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Assemble the wraps: Spoon approximately ¼ cup of the turkey mixture onto each Bibb or Butter lettuce leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh, crunchy, and flavorful wraps.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the roasted red chili paste.
- Use ground chicken as an alternative to turkey if preferred.
- These wraps can be meal-prepped by storing the turkey mixture and lettuce leaves separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
- Add shredded carrots or chopped bell peppers for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
