Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 lb. fat-free ground turkey
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 tsp. ground ginger
- 2/3 cup thinly sliced green onions (about 4)

- 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1–2 tsp. red chili paste

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes or until turkey is browned. Stir to crumble. Combine turkey mixture, onions and chopped water chestnuts in a large bowl, stirring well, and set aside.

Just made these for dinner tonight and they were fantastic! I was so happy with how easy they were to make and how delicious they tasted. I love lettuce wraps when I go out, so I am really happy to now have a recipe I can make at home. Others I’ve tried in the past have either been way overly complicated or not very tasty. Thanks for sharing a winner 🙂
