Low-Carb Lettuce Wraps Recipe #367620
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!

SERVES 2 , 8 Wraps
- 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
- 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!}.
