Notes

Feel free to customize your turkey filling by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. For a low-carb or keto option, replace honey with a keto-friendly sweetener and use low-sugar sauces. Store leftover filling in an airtight container for up to 4 days and keep lettuce leaves wrapped in paper towels for freshness. You can also try variations like Korean or Thai turkey lettuce wraps by adding specific sauces and spices. Enjoy experimenting with different flavors!
