SPICY GROUND TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS

These Spicy Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps are a flavour-packed, protein-rich meal that’s light and satisfying. Lean ground turkey is sautéed with bold spices like chilli powder, garlic powder, olive oil, salt and paprika, then tossed with coconut aminos (or soy sauce) for a savoury umami boost. The turkey filling is then nestled in crisp lettuce leaves, offering a refreshing crunch that balances out the spice. These wraps are a fantastic low-carb, keto-friendly and gluten-free option that can be prepared in under 15 minutes, making them perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep. Whether you’re looking for a high-protein post-workout meal, a quick lunch or a light dinner, these wraps offer the perfect balance of taste and nutrition. Serve with a side of avocado, salsa or Greek yoghurt for added texture and flavour.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Spicy Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps:

  • Extra flavour: Add diced onions or bell peppers while cooking for added texture and sweetness.

  • Prevent soggy lettuce: Dry the lettuce leaves completely before assembling them to maintain their crispness.
  • Protein alternatives: Swap turkey with lean chicken, beef or tofu for different variations.
  • Make it a meal: Serve with cauliflower rice or a side of guacamole for a complete dish.

VARIATIONS

  • Keto-Friendly: Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Vegan Alternative: Use crumbled tempeh or lentils instead of turkey.
  • Asian Twist: Swap chilli powder with ginger and hoisin sauce for an Asian-inspired wrap.
  • Crunchy Addition: Sprinkle crushed nuts or sesame seeds for extra texture.
  • Sweet and Savoury: Mix in diced pineapple for a hint of natural sweetness.
