Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • - 3 green onions sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • - 8 oz mushrooms finely diced
  • - 1 lb ground turkey
  • - 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • - 1 tbsp honey
  • - 1 tsp sriracha optional
  • - 1 head butter or iceberg lettuce leaves separated
  • - shredded carrot and sesame seeds for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add white parts of green onions, garlic, and ginger; cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
  3. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sriracha (if using). Pour over the turkey mixture and cook 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats everything.
  5. Spoon into lettuce leaves and top with shredded carrot, green parts of the green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Make ahead: The turkey filling can be made ahead and reheated; assemble lettuce cups fresh.
  • Swap: Ground chicken works as a direct substitute.
