Ingredients You Need to Make Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are so delicious and full of healthy ingredients. Feel free to add or take away whatever you need to make these perfect for you! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Sesame Oil: Adds great flavor to the meat!
• Ground turkey: I like to use ground turkey because it’s a great healthy option. You can also use ground beef if that’s what you have on hand.
• Shredded carrots: It’s easiest just to buy a bag of matchstick carrots from the store.
• Mushrooms: Chop these up into small pieces.
• Water chestnuts: These add in that delicious crunch to the wraps.
• Green onions: The green onions fill these lettuce wraps with flavor.
• Garlic clove: If you don’t have a fresh garlic clove on hand then you can use minced garlic instead. 1/2 tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic.
• Hoisin sauce: Buy this at the store or make this homemadehoisin sauce!
• Soy sauce: I used low sodium soy sauce in this recipe to keep things healthier.
• Rice wine vinegar: This is used in a lot of Asian recipes so I like to always have some on hand.
• Red chili paste: This adds in a little heat and some delicious flavor!
• Butter lettuce leaves: You can also useBoston or Iceberg lettuce instead.
