Sweet homemade Teriyaki combined with lean ground turkey and veggies wrapped in crisp lettuce – a perfectly light meal for lunch or dinner.

Teriyaki Turkey Lettuce Wraps

I went on a kick last year, eating lettuce wraps for lunch nearly every day for a month. My kids even love them! You can stuff just about anything in them, and it gives you a little fiber and vitamin boost too. While I try not to make claims that anything I make is specifically “healthy” or “low cal” I do know that lettuce is a lot better for you than a flour tortilla or steamed rice!

Teriyaki Lettuce Wraps

One of my favorites I shared with you last week is my Chicken Club Lettuce Wraps. They are so good! But these Teriyaki Turkey Wraps may just be edging them out as our new favorite. I like to grate up some veggies and add them in too.

First cook the ground turkey with some sauteed onion and lots of garlic. About halfway through the cooking time, toss in some fresh grated carrot and finely chopped broccoli. You could totally leave these veggies chunkier, but if I want my kids to eat them I have to get them as small as possible, in the hopes that they won’t notice they’re actually eating vegetables!

ground turkey and vegetables

*If you opt for larger vegetables, steam them separately and add them at the end when you add the sauce.

While the meat is cooking, make your Teriyaki Sauce. I like to make a homemade Teriyaki (it’s super easy!) but you could use a prepackaged sauce if you prefer. Stir the sauce into the ground turkey and let it simmer for about five minutes.

Spoon the meat right into your lettuce leaves, wrap, and enjoy!

      Sorry, I’m not able to provide nutritional information. There are great tools online though, and I recommend myfitnesspal.com.

    I am wanting to get this recipe but can’t do all the sugar would not adding the 1/4 cup of white sugar change the texture drastically or will it turn out ok ?
    Thank you

      Hi Leeanne,

      Yes you could leave out the sugar, but the recipe wouldn’t be quite the same. Teriyaki sauce is traditionally sweet and the sugar cuts through the saltiness. If you try it, let me know how it is.

      I know this message was left back in April but maybe using honey for a substitute for the sugar would help.

    These are so good. I added some toasted sesame seeds and cashews, and they were awesome, gave them some crunch! Will definitely be making these again, I only made them last night, and have already shared the recipes with friends! Thanks for such a simple tasty meal!

    These were simply amazing…. the teriyaki Sauce is soooo good. I made it again to put on some grilled salmon and it was perfect. Mine were a bit runny, so I think I’ll be adding rice to the mix next time, but wow. – what a wonderful recipe!
