Ginger Turkey Lettuce Wraps

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 heads butter lettuce
• 1 can, diced water chestnuts
• 1, finely diced carrot
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tbsp, grated fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp tamari
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 3, sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, and carrot; cook 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the water chestnuts and tamari and cook another 2 minutes until glossy.
4. Separate the lettuce into cups.
5. Spoon the turkey into the lettuce cups, top with green onions, and eat with your hands.

Tips

• Water chestnuts are what give the classic crunch — keep them if you can.
• Make the filling ahead and warm it; assemble wraps fresh so the lettuce stays crisp.
