Notes
Storage: Store the turkey mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Keep the lettuce and toppings stored separately so nothing gets soggy.
Ingredients: Don’t use 99% fat-free ground turkey – without enough fat, it overcooks quickly and turns dry. For a gluten-free version, look for a certified GF teriyaki sauce, or make a quick homemade version by swapping regular soy sauce for tamari.
Prep Ahead: The turkey mixture reheats beautifully, so you can cook it ahead and warm it up in a skillet or the microwave when you’re ready to serve. Prep the toppings in advance too – cucumber and carrots can be sliced and stored in the fridge for several days.
Serve With: Frozen egg rolls, potstickers, or wontons are the easiest zero-prep sides. A simple side of steamed rice is easy with the rice maker
