Walnut Free Ginger-Turmeric Romaine Lettuce Cups with Carrot

Bright, fresh, and packed with bold flavor, these lettuce cups are the kind of weeknight meal that feels a little special without requiring much effort. Ground chicken gets cooked down with fragrant ginger and earthy turmeric until golden and aromatic, then tossed with shredded carrot, coconut aminos, and a splash of apple cider vinegar for a savory-tangy glaze that clings to every bite. Spooned into crisp romaine leaves, the whole thing comes together as a light but genuinely satisfying handheld meal. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is straightforward, with no sauces or seasonings that typically sneak in hidden nut derivatives. The coconut aminos bring a rich, soy-sauce-like depth without any of the usual label-reading stress. Fresh cilantro and mint scattered on top add a pop of herby brightness that takes the whole dish up a notch. It's clean, colorful, and the kind of recipe you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.
