A delicious and healthy recipe for Asian Lettuce Wraps made with ground chicken or turkey and fresh vegetables, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ground chicken or turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped mushrooms, red bell pepper, and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Pour this sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  6. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  7. To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, fold it like a taco, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground chicken with crumbled tofu or tempeh.
  • Add chopped water chestnuts for extra crunch and texture in the filling.
