These little bites are bright, fresh, and packed with bold flavor — the kind of appetizer or light meal that disappears from the platter before you even sit down. Ground turkey gets cooked down with garlic, ginger, and a hit of turmeric, then tossed with coconut aminos and fresh lime juice until everything is coated in a savory, citrusy glaze. Coconut aminos does a lot of heavy lifting here — it delivers that deep, umami-rich soy sauce vibe without any of the sweeteners you'd find lurking in bottled sauces and marinades. The shredded carrots add a subtle sweetness and a little texture, while the crisp butter lettuce cups keep things light and satisfying all at once. A generous finish of cilantro, scallions, and a squeeze of fresh lime pulls the whole thing together with zero added sugar anywhere in sight. These are the kind of clean, craveable bites that prove you really don't need sweeteners to make something taste incredible.

Separate the butter lettuce into individual leaves and trim the base of each to form a cup shape. Arrange 12 of the best-formed cups on a large serving platter and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
