Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 head butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated
  • 1 cup shredded coleslaw mix or cabbage
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

    Cook ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through — about 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute, stirring.

  3. 3

    Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Stir to coat. Cook 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat. Stir in half the green onions.

  5. 5

    Spoon turkey mixture into lettuce leaves. Top with coleslaw mix and remaining green onions.

GLP-1 Notes

Ginger naturally reduces nausea — including it here serves double duty. The filling keeps for 4 days refrigerated; store separately from lettuce and assemble fresh.
