Walnut Free Rosemary-Apple Mini Lettuce Wraps
These little wraps are a seriously satisfying combination of savory, sweet, and herby — the kind of appetizer or light meal that disappears from the platter before you even sit down. Ground turkey gets cooked down with shallots, garlic, and fresh rosemary, then brightened up with finely diced apple and a splash of coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar for a filling that's deeply flavorful without being heavy. The apple brings a subtle sweetness and a little texture that plays beautifully against the warm spices of ginger and turmeric. Butter lettuce cups make the perfect vessel — cool, crisp, and just sturdy enough to hold a generous spoonful of filling. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of the usual suspects, with no hidden nut oils or ambiguous pantry shortcuts to second-guess. Scallions and fresh parsley on top add a pop of color and freshness that makes the whole thing look as good as it tastes. Serve them straight from the skillet while the filling is still warm and the lettuce is still crisp for the best possible bite.
