All the takeout flavor without the wrapper: seasoned ground turkey with water chestnuts and green onions, spooned into cold butter lettuce. The crunch is the whole point, and the protein keeps you full.

4 servings or type

1 ¼ pounds Ground turkey

1 tablespoon Olive oil

1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated

2 Garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons Reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon Rice vinegar

8 ounces Water chestnuts, drained and chopped

4 Green onions, sliced

12 Butter lettuce leaves

Steps

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown the turkey 6 minutes, breaking it up.
Stir in the ginger and garlic for 1 minute, then the soy sauce, vinegar, and water chestnuts. Cook 3 minutes more, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Spoon the hot filling into the cold lettuce leaves and top with green onions. Makes about 12 wraps.

Tip: Keep the lettuce cold and the filling hot. The temperature contrast is what makes lettuce wraps worth making.
