This recipe is a result of my friend's no-carb diet...& we basically just pulled out everything from the fridge that he can eat and made lettuce wraps from it. I thought they turned out surprisingly well so I wanted to share!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
1 zucchini
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
1/4 cp. soy sauce
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 head butter lettuce
1/4 cp. salsa
olive oil or grapeseed oil
Directions:
1. finely chop your zucchini and water chestnuts & set aside.
2. wash butter lettuce.
3. combine turkey, parmesan cheese, & salsa in a bowl.
4. once combined, brown turkey slightly.
5. add zucchini and chestnuts, also soy sauce.
6. {it's important to have the salsa and soy sauce in the turkey, not just for flavor but because lean turkey tends to get really dry when cooked}.
7. once meat is cooked thoroughly and veggies are tender remove from heat and let cool just for a few minutes {the hot meat tends to really wilt the lettuce}.
8. And - that's it! Easy, quick, healthy & yummy! I top mine off with a little more salsa {Los Pastores is my favorite!}.
