These bright, handheld bites are the kind of thing that disappears from a platter before you've even finished setting the table. Tender butter lettuce cups cradle a savory ground turkey filling that's been coaxed into something genuinely special with garlic, fresh ginger, coconut aminos, and a generous hit of lime. The shredded carrots soften just enough to blend into the meat while keeping a little texture, and the turmeric adds a warm, golden undertone that makes the whole filling look as good as it tastes. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of seeds, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required — it just works as written. Coconut aminos step in for soy sauce and bring that same savory depth without any of the usual concerns, which is a genuinely useful trick to keep in your back pocket. A shower of fresh cilantro and sliced scallions right before serving keeps everything vibrant and a little herbaceous. These are casual enough for a weeknight but impressive enough to put in front of guests.

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.
