Are you looking for a quick weeknight meal that’s lighter on the calories? We’ve got you covered with our delicious Thai inspired low carb turkey lettuce wraps. These don’t skimp on the flavor either!

We use 85% ground turkey in this recipe, but if you’re not a huge fan of turkey you can switch them out for ground chicken or ground beef. Then we add all the spices! Garlic, ginger, tamari (is gluten free, but if you don’t have on hand you can substitute soy sauce for this), rice vinegar, fish sauce (no it doesn’t taste fishy in this recipe!), chili sauce and a tad bit of coconut sugar. Yes I said coconut sugar, but it’s such a small amount that it is still a really low carb recipe!

How to Make Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps

First you’re going to cook the ground turkey, onion and celery in a large skillet. Then you’ll add the garlic and ginger. Next add the tamari sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili garlic sauce, fish sauce, and water. You’ll bring this mixture to a simmer and cook for a while.

Then you will divide the meat between the 8 lettuce cups. Finally you’ll top each lettuce cup with red onion, cilantro, peanuts, and crushed red pepper flakes. If you don’t like heat, you can skip the red pepper flakes.

Do Lettuce Wraps Have Carbs?

By substituting lettuce in the place of tortillas, you are cutting out a bunch of carbs! The lettuce wraps will still contain carbs from whatever toppings and fillings you put in them though. So choose wisely 🙂
