Almond Free Rosemary-Apple Mini Lettuce Wraps
These little wraps pack a serious punch of flavor — savory ground turkey seasoned with fresh rosemary, warm ginger, and turmeric, then brightened up with sweet diced apple and a splash of apple cider vinegar. The coconut aminos bring a subtle umami depth without any soy, and the whole filling comes together in one skillet in under twenty minutes. Crisp butter lettuce cups do the heavy lifting as a vessel, keeping things light and fresh while still feeling satisfying enough for a full meal. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of almonds and almond-derived ingredients from start to finish — no swaps or substitutions needed. The Honeycrisp or Fuji apple is the unexpected star here, softening just enough to meld with the turkey while still holding a little texture and sweetness against the herby, savory base. Finish with scallions and fresh parsley if you have them on hand, because that pop of green makes the whole platter look as good as it tastes. These are the kind of wraps that disappear fast at a table, so consider doubling the filling.
