Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1 pound ground turkey

4 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
1 head butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated

2. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Stir in soy sauce and hoisin sauce; let simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.

5. Spoon mixture into lettuce leaves. Add sriracha if using, garnish with extra onions or chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to wash and dry lettuce thoroughly so the leaves stay crisp.
If meal prepping, store lettuce and filling separately to prevent sogginess.
You can swap turkey with ground chicken or plant-based crumbles.
