Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

2 carrots, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Sauté the Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced red bell pepper, chopped mushrooms, and grated carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

        Season the Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the turkey mixture. Stir well to combine everything and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: To serve, spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture into each lettuce leaf.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Top with chopped green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, spicy wraps!
