Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Jump to recipe

Happy March! Let’s start this month on the right note with something delicious, flavorful and healthy, “Turkey Lettuce Wraps”. Turkey meat is like a white canvas, you can infuse so much flavor in it, it’s a very friendly ingredient. This is one of my favorite ways to use ground turkey meat, I love the combinations of flavors and textures and it is also a very light and fresh meal. Perfect for the warmer weather coming up this week.

I seasoned the turkey meat with sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice vinegar and chili-garlic sauce. I added some shredded carrots for sweetness and jicama for some crunch, yes, Jicama! This dish is normally made with water chestnuts but I try to avoid them because they’re bloating to me. Jicama is the perfect substitute for water chestnuts, they’re very crunchy and crisp with a very mild flavor, they’re pretty much like a raw potato. Except less carbs.

You can use whatever lettuce you have in hand, (even collard greens for more nutrients) there’s even restaurants that serve this dish with Iceberg lettuce leaves. This time I used butter lettuce, because it is more tender and looks so pretty once it’s plated.

I’ve been living in Texas for 12 years and even when I love barbeque, fruit cobblers and sweet tea, there’s something that has the power of transporting me right back to my mom’s kitchen and gives me a little piece of home, cooking. I grew up in the kitchen and for me, memories are always linked to food, and behind the food, well, there’s always a story that comes along. So, please let me share with you my love for cooking and while we are at it, let’s share some memories, because let’s be honest, we are also hungry for nostalgia.
