Miso Lettuce Wraps
These lettuce wraps are incredibly easy to make! This would be great for a light meal prep or quick dinner when you are busy but still want to nourish yourself with something yummy.
It is also very customizable. In this recipe, I used ground turkey, but I usually use ground beef since it is more available to me. You can switch up the vegetables you use too.
Ingredients and Benefits:
Pasture-raised ground meat: Pasture-raised meat provides more vitamins, omega-3s, and overall have a better nutritional profile. Pasture-raised meat is better for the environment too because it helps restore nutrients in the soil. I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off). Of course, ground meat provides a lot of protein too!
Onion: Rich in vitamin C, which supports collagen production, immune health, and iron absorption. Contains quercetin, an antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory effects.
Bell pepper: Rich in vitamins and fiber to protect against disease.
Garlic: Has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: let garlic sit out for 10-15 minutes after mincing so the enzyme allicin is activated and the benefits are retained!
Mushrooms: I used lion's mane that I got locally. Lion's mane may help improve brain function and lower blood sugar.
Coconut aminos: Contains 17 amino acids, probiotics, and antioxidants. It tastes similar to soy sauce, but has a little more sweetness.
Miso paste: Rich in probiotics to support gut health and improve digestion.
Sesame oil: Contains vitamins, antioxidants, and provides the nutty signature Asian flavor.
Rice wine vinegar: Contains acetic acid that has antimicrobial properties.
Lettuce: It is important to purchase a sturdy lettuce such as bib, butter, or romaine.
