Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or 1 1g packet stevia/erythritol blend (see notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 4 large cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh-grated ginger
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1/4 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot julienned
- 1 scallion green and white parts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts or almonds chopped (see notes)
- Fresh lime wedges for squeezing on top
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the turkey and cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break up the meat.
- Add the tamari sauce or coconut aminos, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, coconut sugar or stevia/erythritol blend, crushed red pepper flakes, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Spoon the meat mixture into lettuce leaves and top with the red onion, carrot, scallion, and peanuts or almonds. Serve along with the lime wedges for squeezing on top.
Notes
- If you want an extra pop of protein, add in some chopped water chestnuts - they add a lovely texture too!
- For a paleo option use coconut sugar and almonds.
- For a lower carb option use stevia/erythritol blend and peanuts or almonds.
- For a spicy filling, add in a few tablespoons of Sriracha.
