Cashew Free Orange-Garlic Mini Lettuce Wraps
These little wraps pack a serious punch of bright, savory flavor ā think fragrant garlic and ginger-spiked ground turkey glazed with coconut aminos, fresh orange juice, and a hint of turmeric, all cradled in cool, crisp butter lettuce cups. The combination of citrus zest and apple cider vinegar gives the filling a glossy, tangy finish that makes every bite feel lively and fresh. Shredded carrot, cilantro, and scallion greens on top add crunch and color without any fuss. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of cashews and relies entirely on wholesome, easy-to-source ingredients ā no swaps or substitutions needed. Coconut aminos do the heavy lifting in the sauce department, delivering that savory umami depth you'd expect without any hidden nut-based additives that can sneak into store-bought sauces. The whole thing comes together in one skillet, making cleanup a breeze and weeknight dinners feel a little more exciting. Serve them straight from the pan while the filling is warm and the lettuce is still crisp for the best possible bite.
