For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the turkey mixture. Ensure the lettuce leaves are completely dry to prevent the wraps from becoming soggy. To make this recipe even faster, use pre-cooked ground turkey. Experiment with different toppings to customize your lettuce wraps. Consider adding chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground turkey with crumbled tofu or cooked lentils.

Sep 30, 2024I found that using butter lettuce instead of romaine was even better! The leaves were softer and more pliable.
