Macadamia Free Ginger-Turmeric Romaine Lettuce Cups with Carrot

Bright, bold, and packed with warm spice, these lettuce cups deliver a satisfying crunch with every bite. Ground chicken gets cooked down with fresh ginger and turmeric until fragrant and golden, then tossed with shredded carrot, coconut aminos, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for a savory-tangy glaze that clings to every piece. Crisp romaine leaves stand in as the vessel, making each cup feel fresh and light without sacrificing any of the flavor. The whole filling comes together in a single skillet, which means minimal cleanup and maximum weeknight appeal. Coconut oil keeps things rich without relying on any tree nut oils, so the dish is naturally free of the cross-contamination concerns that can come with certain Asian-inspired recipes. A scatter of fresh cilantro and torn mint at the end lifts everything with a herby brightness that makes the dish feel restaurant-worthy. These are the kind of handheld bites that disappear fast, so consider doubling the filling if you're feeding a crowd.
