Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps
These ground turkey lettuce wraps are a quick and healthy meal option that combines bold flavors with a fresh crunch. Perfectly seasoned turkey, crisp lettuce, and a delicious sauce make these wraps a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 head lettuce, separated into leaves
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and soy sauce, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, just until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Stir frequently until the turkey is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- While the turkey cooks, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger until well-combined.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked turkey mixture. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly reduce and intensify the flavors.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Spoon the turkey mixture into each leaf, garnish with your favorite toppings, and serve immediately!
