Does anyone else kind of turn their nose up at lettuce wraps? I know they are an ultra healthy way to wrap up your meal for a low carb dinner, BUT many times I have had them in the past, I felt like I was really missing a certain heartiness that comes from carbs. I love light and healthy meals like Beef & Broccolini Bowls or Skinny Cowgirl Veggie Burgers but those all have a certain hearty element that makes them satisfying. So often when I have had lettuce wraps filled with nothing more than veggies and chicken and it just doesn’t do the job.

These Turkey Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps are a whole different story though! They are full of ground turkey that is simmered in a rich and spicy Thai Peanut Sauce that is TO DIE FOR! The peanut sauce and chopped peanuts bring that hearty element to the dish that so many other lettuce cups are missing. I don’t even miss a tortilla or bread with this dish, it is perfect just the way it is!

Green Onions & Lime

Thai Chili Peppers are another fun element to this dish that I love. If you don’t have access to them or don’t want to run to the store for a new ingredient, you can easily swap them for dried chili flakes. You can also top them with any crunchy veggies you have on hand for some freshness and crunch. Cucumbers or bell peppers would be other great additions apart from the carrots and green onions.

Not only was this a fantastic dinner idea, but it works great for leftovers as a lunch too! I packed up the meat in one container and all the veggies in another and then just popped the meat in the microwave to heat it up. I quickly assembled my lettuce cups and I had a flavorful and filling lunch in a matter of a few minutes. That is winning in my book!

    So delicious!! I can’t get my husband to eat turkey … I supposed substituting pork would probably be OK, right? 🙂

    These look beautiful! I love that they are not doused with sauce which leaves the fresh taste of the veggies!

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes. I try never to leave negative comments, so I hope you’ll forgive this one: It’s with the ads. I understand they are probably what keep your site going, but do these things have to take up fully one-third of the screen? And the constant flashing is extremely distracting (and may even cause problems for people with seizure disorder). Do you have any suggestion – other than just putting up with it?

      Hi Donna, ads are definitely part of my site as they are what keep it running. With that said, I never want them to be intrusive to the point that people can’t get the information they need. If you would take a screenshot of the problem from your end and email it to me, I would much appreciate it. I can then address the issue with my ad server. Thanks!
