Low-Carb Lettuce Wraps image

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!

Time 25m

Yield 8 Wraps, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • finely chop your zucchini and water chestnuts & set aside.
  • wash butter lettuce.
  • combine turkey, parmesan cheese, & salsa in a bowl.
  • once combined, brown turkey slightly.
  • add zucchini and chestnuts, also soy sauce.
  • {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}.
  • 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}.
  • And -- that's it! Easy, quick, healthy & yummy! I top mine off with a little more salsa {Los Pastores is my favorite!}.
