Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons fish sauce
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey with a lower fat content (93% lean or higher) to make the wraps healthier.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Incorporate a mix of colorful vegetables such as shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, and sliced cucumbers for added nutrition and crunch.
  • Make your own lettuce wraps: Instead of buying pre-made lettuce cups, use large lettuce leaves such as romaine or butterhead lettuce to create your own lettuce wraps for a fresher taste.
  • Add flavorful seasonings: Enhance the taste of the ground turkey by using a blend of spices and herbs such as cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cilantro.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: Drizzle a flavorful dressing or sauce over the wraps to add moisture and extra flavor. Some popular options include a creamy avocado dressing, a tangy salsa dressing, or a spicy sriracha dressing.
