Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 cup mushrooms, chopped

1 medium carrot, grated

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed

1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute to release their aromas.

    Cook Turkey: Increase the heat slightly and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it is thoroughly browned and no longer pink. If necessary, drain any excess fat from the skillet.

      Add Vegetables: Incorporate the diced bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, and grated carrot into the skillet. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.

        Flavor it Up: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir everything together, allowing the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the turkey and vegetable mixture into the center. Garnish with fresh green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.

            Serve: Enjoy your healthy turkey lettuce wraps immediately while they’re fresh, crisp, and bursting with flavor!
