Thai Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Hey Thai food fans, this one is for you! It’s a quick lunch that has all your favorite Thai flavors mixed together. Since Thailand is right on the water, you will often find Thai recipes are both sweet and salty, with a lot of seafood and fish oil used. It’s also pretty spicy too.

These lettuce wraps can be as mild or hot as you make them. In fact, there are a lot of different ways that you can customize these lettuce wraps to make them taste just how you want them to.

Healthy Thai Ground Turkey

These lettuce wraps are high in protein, and fiber, and will fuel your body with a bunch of healthy vitamins and antioxidants. Turkey is a lean source of protein, and peanut butter and peanuts are fantastic sources of healthy fats and protein too.

If you don’t have ground turkey, you can use ground chicken in its place for a lean choice, or ground beef if you don’t mind the extra fat.

To use this in your meal prep, I suggest storing the ground turkey filling separate from both the lettuce wraps and the peanut sauce. Then, when you are ready to eat it, just heat the filling and sauce and assemble it.

Ground Turkey Vs Ground Beef

I have been known to use ground turkey as a replacement for ground beef in a lot of recipes. They have very similar textures and work well in a lot of the same recipes.

The biggest difference between ground beef and ground turkey is that beef has more fat than turkey. You will have to drain the beef after you brown it, but you won’t have as much grease to drain from the turkey.

Whenever I cook with ground turkey, I tend to use either more seasoning or stronger flavors because turkey tends to be bland as well.

Best Lettuce For Wraps

When it comes to using lettuce for wraps, you need one that is large enough to hold in your hand and sturdy enough to hold your food. My three favorite types of lettuce for wraps are iceberg, bibb, and Boston lettuce.

The freshness of the lettuce is another thing that will make or break it as a wrap. If the lettuce is too old, it will begin to wilt and be too flimsy to hold your meat.

What To Eat With Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are basically a complete meal. You have the meat and vegetables and a filling sauce, all in one recipe. The best thing you can eat with it is a light soup. A low-carb vegetable soup is a perfect thing to share on the side.

If you are craving something sweet, I suggest low-carb cranberry bars. The tart flavors will really taste delicious after eating nutty and salty Thai lettuce wraps.
