These easy lettuce wraps require ingredients you likely have in your pantry already:
Olive oil Ground turkey or chicken Hoisin sauce Low-sodium Soy sauce Sriracha Rice wine vinegar Sesame oil Salt, to taste Fresh garlic Fresh ginger Green onions Carrots Water chestnuts Lettuce
How to Make 20-Minute P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps

What’s the Best Lettuce for Lettuce Wraps?
For the best crunch and the sturdiest wrap, you’ll want to use either Bibb lettuce, butter lettuce, or Iceberg lettuce. Romaine works in a pinch, but its leaves are longer, which makes it tougher to form wraps.
Should I Make Ground Turkey or Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps?
I’ve made this recipe using both ground chicken and ground turkey and both work great. I usually use ground turkey because that’s what I have on hand, but just use what you like or what’s on sale. You could also try this recipe with ground pork or ground beef.
Tips for the Best 20-Minute P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps
If you are looking for even more protein, you could swap the water chestnuts out with chopped walnuts. These are great for meal prepping. Store the lettuce and chicken mixture filling separately in airtight containers, and assemble when ready to eat! For a slightly spicy filling, add a few tablespoons of Sriracha or chili garlic sauce. Don’t be afraid to clean out your fridge with this recipe! Add other vegetables, mushrooms for more substance, or rice noodles to convert lettuce wrap recipes into a bowl.
