Instructions
Wash the butter lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
Add diced water chestnuts and shredded carrots (if using), cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Stir in sliced green onions and remove the skillet from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, and sesame oil to make the dipping sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Scoop the meat mixture into individual butter lettuce leaves to form wraps.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
