Description of Fody's Low FODMAP Teriyaki Ginger Turkey Lettuce Wraps
By now we hope you have familiarized yourself with all of Fody’s low FODMAP sauces and marinades. This dish combines Fody Low FODMAP Teriyaki Sauce with Fody Low FODMAP Sesame Ginger Sauce for a whole new flavor experience. Sautéed ground turkey, water chestnuts, grated carrots and red bell peppers add crunch and color for a super simple and quick to make low FODMAP dinner!
Why Lettuce Wraps Are Perfect for a Low FODMAP Diet
Lettuce wraps are an ideal choice for Low FODMAP meals because all common lettuce varieties are naturally low in FODMAPs with no upper serving limit. Butter lettuce, iceberg, romaine, and red leaf lettuce can all be enjoyed freely, making wraps an easy foundation for Low FODMAP dinner ideas.
Using lettuce instead of bread or tortillas creates a lighter, lower carbohydrate alternative that is naturally gluten free and especially helpful during the elimination phase of the Low FODMAP diet. Butter lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, works best for wraps because its tender, flexible leaves fold easily around fillings without cracking.
Iceberg lettuce provides extra crunch but is less pliable, while romaine has a firmer center rib that can split when wrapped. Paired with ground turkey, which is naturally FODMAP-free, lettuce wraps deliver a satisfying meal without relying on high FODMAP grains or starches.
Fody's Low FODMAP Teriyaki Ginger Turkey Lettuce Wraps Ingredients
- ½ cup (120 ml) Fody Teriyaki Sauce
- ½ cup (120 ml) Fody Sesame Ginger Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fody Garlic-Infused Olive Oil, divided
- 1-pound (455 g) ground turkey
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, cored and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (70 g) finely chopped, canned, drained water chestnuts
- 1/3 cup (24 g) chopped scallion greens, divided
- Two heads butter Bibb or Boston lettuce, washed, dried, cored, 8 largest leaves removed
Directions for Fody's Low FODMAP Teriyaki Ginger Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Whisk together the Fody Teriyaki Sauce and Fody Sesame Ginger Sauce in a measuring up with spout; set aside.
Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Crumble in the turkey and stir-fry until it has mostly lost its pink color, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan, draining away and discarding any excess liquid. Wipe out pan and add remaining oil, heating over medium heat. Add carrot, red bell pepper, water chestnuts and half the scallions (just divide by eye) and stir fry for 1 minute or until vegetables begin to soften. Add turkey back into pan along with about three-quarters of the combined Fody sauces and continue to stir fry for several more minutes until turkey is cooked through.
Meanwhile, place lettuce leaves on plates, ready to be used as wraps for the finished stir-fry. Once turkey is cooked through and vegetables are slightly softened, divide among lettuce leaves, sprinkle with remaining scallions, drizzle with reserved sauce and serve immediately.
