Healthy and Easy Lettuce Wraps

My family and I have made these a BUNCH over the last few months because everyone loves them and it is an easy dinner to throw together last minute. This recipe is inspired by @faymouslyfit on Instagram. It is her recipe with a few modifications to fit my food restrictions and my family’s preferences!

This recipe feeds 5-6 people.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of ground turkey or chicken (We like Turkey the best for ours)
• 2 cans of water chestnuts, diced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 tsp of picked ginger, minced (you can buy pickled ginger pre-minced!)
• 4 tbsps of Sriracha (I like things medium-spicy, but my family likes it hot and adds an extra tbsp of Sriracha in)
• 3 tbsps of rice vinegar
• 5 tbsps coconut aminos (I like the Coconut Secret brand. You can use any type of liquid aminos or even soy sauce if you can have gluten.)
• 2 heads of bib lettuce
• Diced scallions for topping

Directions:

1. Dice onion and scallions
2. Mince garlic and pickled ginger (if not pre-minced)
3. Spray skillet with cooking spray, add ground chicken or turkey and cook on medium heat until browned
4. Remove and set aside in a bowl
5. Spray skillet again and add onion, garlic, scallions, water chestnuts, coconut aminos, sriracha, and rice vinegar
6. Cook for a few minutes until softened and beginning to brown
7. Add meat back in and cook for a few minutes until all combined.
8. Spoon into lettuce leaves
9. Top with scallions or more Sriracha!
