Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
After the holidays I am ready to set goals and think more about healthy recipes that are still flavorful. These Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps are bursting with flavor and have so many great ideas to go with them. Having them as a quick snack after school, meal prep for the week, gathering friends over for a savory appetizer or enjoying them with your family gathered around the table. The ideas are endless!

How do you make Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps?
- In a medium sized skillet over medium high heat, add the ground turkey. Cook and crumble until it is almost cooked throughout.
- Add carrots, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green onions and garlic. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until turkey is cooked and veggies are tender.
- Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili paste. Stir and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Serve on butter lettuce leaves.
What Lettuce Is Best For Making Lettuce Wraps?
- Iceberg Lettuce gives them a nice crispiness but they are harder to roll compared to other lettuce types.
- Bib Lettuce, Boston or Green Leaf all have a large, loose head and a dark green leaf.
- Butter Lettuce (recommended) is a softer lettuce, thick, large leaves and easy to roll.

Thanks so much!
Yes! This is a great meal plan idea! Let me know how you like it!

Is the calorific count correct as it seems quite high @ 706 calories per serving
It does seem a little high to me too! I would recommend trying myfitnesspal.com for any nutritional information. Hope that helps!
A little quick figuring and this seems like it may be the calorie count for the whole recipe. Delicious, by the way!
Hi Alyssa!
I loveeeee these wraps and they are perfect for WW! Can you clarify- the 706 calorie count is for the entire pound, correct? Not per serving?
Thank you!
I apologize, I just looked them over and saw that it was for the whole meal. 88 calories is for about 2 bib lettuce filled.
Loved this recipe and so easy to make!! Will definitely make again!
Yummy! I love the addition of all the veggies with the turkey
We loved this recipe. It was so full of flavor. I did double the carrots and mushrooms and served with rice as it was our dinner not an appetizer. I will definitely make it again. Thank you for a great recipe.
