Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stir-fried turkey in lettuce wraps taste their best. Look for organic, free-range turkey and crisp, colorful lettuce leaves.
  • Marinate the turkey: Marinating the turkey in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the turkey over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the turkey while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will help to prevent the turkey from steaming and becoming tough.

  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried turkey in lettuce wraps is best served immediately after cooking. This will help to ensure that the lettuce leaves are crisp and the turkey is hot and flavorful.
