Turkey & Greek Salad Lettuce Wraps

Turkey & Greek Salad Lettuce Wraps

Overview

There’s just something so satisfying about a lettuce wrap: the crisp romaine crunch, the perfectly cradled filling, and that satisfied-but-not-stuffed feeling after dinner. This version features ground turkey seasoned with Turkish-inspired spices, garlic, and soy sauce, then topped with a fresh cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad, finished with feta and a sweet Greek vinaigrette. A refreshing, protein-packed meal you’ll want again and again.

This meal is inspired by HelloFresh, which we originally used to make this in the past.

Ingredients

Produce

  • 3 Persian cucumbers
  • 3 Roma tomatoes
  • 3 red onions
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3 stalks baby lettuce

Pantry

  • 4.5 oz Greek vinaigrette
  • 3 tbsp Turkish spice blend
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Cooking oil / olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Dairy

  • 1.5 cups feta cheese

Protein

  • 24 oz ground turkey (93% lean preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Produce:

    • Wash and dry produce.
    • Trim and quarter cucumbers lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
    • Dice tomatoes into ½-inch pieces.
    • Halve, peel, and finely chop onions.
    • Mince or grate garlic.
    • Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
  2. Make the Salad:

    • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, 2 tbsp onion (4 tbsp for 4 servings; reserve the rest), and vinaigrette.
    • Toss to coat and set aside.
  3. Cook the Turkey:

    • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
    • Add remaining onion and a pinch of salt; cook until slightly softened, 2–3 minutes.
    • Add turkey, Turkish spice, garlic, and half the soy sauce (all for 4 servings).
    • Cook, breaking meat into pieces, until turkey is cooked through, 4–6 minutes.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Tip: Stir in a splash of water near the end of cooking to keep turkey saucy.
  4. Assemble the Wraps:

    • Divide lettuce leaves between plates.
    • Fill each with turkey mixture and cucumber-tomato salad.
    • Spoon any remaining vinaigrette over top.
    • Garnish with feta and serve immediately.

💡 Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the salad before serving.
  • Swap turkey for chicken or beef if you prefer.
  • Great for meal prep—store filling and salad separately, then assemble when ready to eat.
