How to Make Healthy Lettuce Wraps

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired.
  5. Spoon the turkey mixture into large lettuce leaves (Butter, Romaine, or Iceberg work well). Wrap and enjoy immediately!
