These little lettuce cups are bright, fresh, and packed with so much flavor that you won't miss a grain of anything. Butter lettuce makes the perfect natural vessel — tender enough to fold, sturdy enough to hold a generous scoop of savory turkey filling without falling apart. The ground turkey gets cooked down with garlic, ginger, and a hit of coconut aminos, then finished with lime juice, lime zest, and a touch of turmeric for a glaze that's tangy, a little earthy, and completely addictive. Shredded carrots add a subtle sweetness and just enough texture to keep every bite interesting. Fresh cilantro and scallions folded in at the end keep things vibrant and herbaceous right up until serving. These are the kind of appetizer or light meal that disappears fast at a table, and since every ingredient is naturally grain-free, there's no swapping or substituting required — it just works as written.

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.
