Instructions

Heat the avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables have softened but still retain some crunch.
Add coconut aminos, chili garlic sauce (or red pepper flakes), ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To serve, spoon the turkey and vegetable mixture into individual butter lettuce leaves, garnish with sliced green onions and cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wraps.
Enjoy these wraps fresh as a gluten-free, dairy-free, and Whole30 main course that’s perfect for a quick family meal.
