Ingredients
- 16 leaves Boston bibb or romaine hearts lettuce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 medium zucchini sliced and quartered
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Wash lettuce leaves and pat dry. Set aside.
- Heat oil in large skillet. Add garlic, onion, and meat. Cook over medium high heat, about 5 to 7 minutes, until meat is browned.
- Add remaining ingredients, cover and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat until zucchini is tender.
Notes
Any type of lettuce leaves can be used for the wraps.
Yellow squash can be used in place of zucchini if desired.
Sauté the ground meat until it’s deeply browned.
Use a nonstick pan or lightly grease your skillet to keep ingredients from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Avoid overstuffing the wraps so it's easier to eat.
Store any leftover filling and lettuce separately to maintain their texture and flavor.
