Delicious Lettuce Wrap Recipe
Saving time in the kitchen just got easier. Kristie caught up with Chef Eric LeVine from 317 Main where he showed her how to put together a delicious and healthy lettuce wrap.
Turkey & Veggie Lettuce Wraps
Lean, fresh, and ready in 15 minutes — crisp lettuce cups instead of a bun or tortilla.
SERVES 4 • TOTAL TIME: 15 min
Ingredients
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup water chestnuts, chopped (canned, drained)
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 12 butter lettuce leaves
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the turkey. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey, breaking it up as it browns, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
2. Add aromatics. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Sauce it. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey, stir to coat, then mix in the shredded carrots and water chestnuts. Cook until the carrots just soften, about 2 minutes.
4. Build & serve. Remove from heat and stir in half of the green onions. Spoon into butter lettuce leaves, and top with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha if using.
NOTE: Kid-friendly version: skip the sriracha in the pot and serve it on the side for the adults. Ground chicken works just as well if that's what's on hand.
