Low Carb Turkey Lettuce Cups
We love these lettuce cups with turkey, but you can easily substitute ground chicken, pork, or even mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 medium onion , diced
- 3 cloves garlic , minced or crushed
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder)
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar (for gluten free)
- 1 bell pepper , diced
- 2 green onions , sliced
- salt , to taste
- ground black pepper , to taste
- butter leaf lettuce leaves , or other similar cupped lettuce leaf
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat and then add oil. Stir in the onion, garlic and ginger, and cook until onions are softened, about 1 minute
- Stir in the ground turkey, breaking it up with the spatula and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar until the turkey is well combined with the sauce.
- Stir in the bell peppers and green onions and cook until the bell peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- You can serve the filling while it's warm, or allow it to cool. Serve with lettuce leaves.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
