Walnut Free Ginger-Scallion Mushroom Lettuce Cups

These lettuce cups are the kind of meal that looks impressive on the table but comes together in a single skillet with minimal fuss. The filling is deeply savory and aromatic — ground turkey and finely chopped cremini mushrooms cook down together until glossy and cohesive, soaking up coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a bright hit of fresh ginger and turmeric. Scallions go in two stages, so you get a mellow sweetness from the cooked whites and a fresh, sharp finish from the greens stirred in at the end. Butter lettuce leaves act as the perfect edible vessel — cool, crisp, and just sturdy enough to hold a generous scoop of filling without falling apart. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, every ingredient here is naturally free of walnuts and walnut-derived oils, with no need to swap or substitute a thing. A squeeze of lime and a scatter of fresh cilantro over the top pull everything together into something that tastes like it came from a restaurant. It works just as well for a casual weeknight dinner as it does for a spread when you have people over.
