As the weather is starting to warm up over here, all I am craving is light and refreshing summer foods. One of my go to meals for a quick and easy meal, are lettuce wraps. They are super easy to prepare and you can switch up the flavor combinations of them, so that they never get boring. For these lettuce wraps I went with a rendition of the PF Chang lettuce wraps I love so much.

Here is what you are going to need to prepare these wraps:

  1. Ground turkey (you can substitute ground chicken, pork, or tofu)
  2. Green onions
  3. Yellow onions
  4. Coconut aminos
  5. Sesame oil
  6. Water chestnuts
  7. Cabbage
  8. Sesame seeds
  9. Teriyaki sauce
  10. Garlic
  11. Chili flakes
  12. Avocado oil
  13. Salt + Pepper

Now this may seem like a lot of ingredients but trust me when I say it adds the best flavor and is super easy to prepare, don’t be overwhelmed by ingredients list.

Preparation of the lettuce wraps are easy. You are going to heat your avocado oil in a pan and once warm add in both onions (green and yellow) and saute for a few minutes. Then add in your garlic and cook for a minute. Next, add in your ground turkey with salt + pepper, cook your ground turkey for a couple minutes, and then add in your coconut aminos, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, chili flake, and cook for 5 more minutes or until turkey is no longer pink.

Once done cooking add in your water chestnuts, carrots, cabbage, and cook for a couple minutes. Then you are going to add your ground turkey mixture to butter lettuce, top with avocado, and sesame seeds.
