Instructions

Heat the oil: In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering to prepare for sautéing.
Sauté vegetables: Add minced garlic, diced onions, and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook while stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Cook turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until it’s fully browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Add sauces: Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to meld the flavors and heat the mixture through.
Cool slightly: Remove the skillet from heat and allow the turkey mixture to cool slightly to make handling easier.
Assemble wraps: Spoon the turkey mixture into separated crispy lettuce leaves and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce for the best wrap texture.
For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce mixture.
To make it gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and ensure hoisin sauce is gluten-free.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat turkey mixture before assembling.
Adjust vegetables according to preference, adding shredded carrots or chopped mushrooms for extra nutrition.
