If you’re looking for a quick and healthy meal that delivers big flavor in less than 30 minutes, make these wraps. They’re fresh, flavorful, and light, with ground turkey and a smattering of vegetables bundled up in butter lettuce leaves. A short list of Asian pantry items comes together for a sweet and salty umami-rich sauce that encourages extra helpings.

This recipe is conveniently flexible and can be dictated by the contents of your refrigerator. Ground chicken or pork can be substituted for the turkey, or use crumbled firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Chopped broccolini, mushrooms, and water chestnuts can be added to the list of vegetables. Just be sure to include a few al dente (crisp-tender) vegetables to give texture to the filling, and cut them in a similar size for easy eating.
