Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 dash sesame oil
1 cup cooked rice
8 leaves butter lettuce, or more as needed
⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

Saute turkey, carrot, green onions, bell pepper, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute until turkey is evenly browned with no pink, about 15 minutes.
While the turkey is cooling, combine soy sauce, water, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and sugar for sauce in a small pot over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Make lettuce wraps by placing about 2 tablespoons rice and 2 tablespoons meat mixture in each lettuce leaf. Roll leaves and serve with warm sauce for dipping.
