Gluten Free Ginger-Turmeric Romaine Lettuce Cups with Carrot

These vibrant lettuce cups are a weeknight dream — fragrant, colorful, and packed with bold flavor from fresh ginger, golden turmeric, and a savory coconut aminos glaze. The filling comes together in a single skillet, with ground chicken cooked through and tossed with shredded carrot until everything is glossy and lightly caramelized. Crisp romaine leaves stand in as the "wrap," making this naturally grain-free without any substitutions or specialty flours required. For anyone navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, coconut aminos do the heavy lifting here in place of traditional soy sauce, delivering that deep, savory umami hit without any wheat-based ingredients to worry about. Apple cider vinegar adds a bright, tangy lift that keeps the richness of the coconut oil in check, and the optional cilantro and mint take the whole thing somewhere fresh and almost restaurant-worthy. Spoon the warm filling into cold, crunchy cups and serve immediately — the contrast in temperature and texture is genuinely addictive. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast, so consider doubling the filling.
