How to Make Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon.

  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of shredded carrots and 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper (any color). Sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. Spoon the hot turkey mixture into large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine work well).
  7. Top with 1/4 cup of thinly sliced cucumber and 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions.
  8. Wrap the lettuce leaves around the filling and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
