  3. Stir in the diced white button mushrooms, water chestnuts, and green onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  4. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, ½ cup of hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Sriracha. Stir well to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro.
  6. Wash and dry the butter lettuce leaves. Spoon the turkey filling into each leaf, and top with additional green onions and Sriracha if desired.
  7. Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a serving platter with a side of warm cooked white rice, and enjoy your flavorful Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps!

Notes

  • Olive oil can be substituted with any cooking oil you have on hand.
  • Ground turkey can be replaced with lean ground chicken or beef.
  • Mushrooms can be swapped for diced bell peppers or zucchini.
  • If you don't have water chestnuts, try diced cucumbers for crunch.
