Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When I say quick and easy, I mean quick and easy. This is one of my favorite go to meals in the summer time because you can literally whip it up in under 15 minutes. These asian turkey lettuce wraps are healthy, delicious and a good source of protein.

There are many ways to doctor these up, or fancier sauces to make but I find some days keeping it simple and easy is all we need.

Ingredients

  

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 tbsp oyster sauce plus more for drizzle
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
• pinch red pepper flakes optional for spice
• black pepper to taste
• sesame seeds
• 2 scallions finely sliced

Instructions

 

• wash your butter lettuce and set to dry
• in a large pan over medium-high heat, cook ground turkey
• when it's almost cooked through and edges start to brown, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes and black pepper
• stir and continue to cook until all pieces are cooked through
• remove from heat and assemble your lettuce wraps by placing a quarter cup of the ground turkey into each piece of butter lettuce
• top with scallions and sesame seeds and enjoy

Notes

• see i told you, it really is THAT easy, we didn’t overcomplicate things with this one 
• salt really isn’t needed due to the saltiness of the soy sauce – but season as you please 
• sometimes i double up on the butter lettuce to give it that extra crunch
