Cooking Tools Required

12-inch nonstick skillet, Box grater, Cutting board, Measuring cups and spoons, Sharp Knives, Spatula, Top Stove

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 cup carrots shredded
  • 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce, leaves separated

Optional for garnish:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes).
  • Stir in the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sriracha (if using), and honey. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until everything is evenly coated.

Add Vegetables:

  • Stir in the shredded carrots, chopped red bell pepper, and peas. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until vegetables are softened but still crisp.

Prepare Lettuce Wraps:

  • While the turkey mixture is cooking, carefully separate the lettuce leaves. Rinse and dry them gently to ensure they are easy to wrap around the filling.

Assemble the Wraps:

  • Spoon the turkey mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts (if using) for added texture and flavor.

Serve:

  • Serve immediately, either on a platter for everyone to build their wraps or pre-assembled as individual servings.
Reheating Instructions
Heat filling in a saute pan over medium heat or in the microwave on high power.
