Ingredients

4 servings

For the filling

1 lb ground turkey
2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated
3 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
1–2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds — watch closely so they don't burn.
2
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–9 minutes.
