Eggless Orange-Garlic Mini Lettuce Wraps
These little wraps pack a serious punch of bright, citrusy flavor with just enough warmth from the ginger and turmeric to keep things interesting. Ground turkey gets cooked down with garlic, fresh orange juice, and coconut aminos until glossy and deeply savory ā then spooned right into crisp butter lettuce cups for a handheld bite that feels both light and satisfying. The whole filling comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of eggs, so there's no swapping or substituting required ā just straightforward cooking with a clean, flavorful result. Shredded carrot, fresh cilantro, and scallion greens on top add crunch and color that make these as pretty as they are delicious. Serve them immediately so the lettuce stays crisp and the filling stays warm ā that contrast is honestly half the appeal.
