Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and finely dice bell pepper. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro.
• Heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. Transfer veggies to a plate. • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*; season with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, press into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, 3-4 minutes. Break up meat into pieces and continue cooking until turkey is cooked through, 2-4 minutes. • Return veggies to pan. Stir in sweet soy glaze, chili sauce, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until mixture is thoroughly coated, 2-3 minutes more. • Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
• Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with turkey mixture. Garnish with candied peanuts and cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side. TIP: Alternatively, serve turkey mixture, candied peanuts, and cilantro in separate bowls and let everyone assemble their own wraps!

Reviews from our home cooks
Oh my gosh this was so good! I also took it the next day for lunch, instead of the wrap, I just chopped up the lettuce, heated up the Sweet Chili Turkey filling and topped the lettuce with it along with the peanuts and cilantro. It was so easy and very delicious! We'll be ordering this again for sure.
Great textures and mix of flavors - cool lettuce with sweet spicy chili and crunchy peanuts.
Top three favorite recipes! The Thai chili was so sweet and delicious. The candied peanuts were amazing and the lettuce made them so refreshing.
These sweet chili turkey Lettuce wraps took more time to type their name than to cook them! They were so delicious!!! I will definitely be making these again.
Loved this recipe. It's as good as lettuce wraps that you get at restaurants. The candied peanuts absolutely made the dish!
This was a pleaser. It was fun to eat in the lettuce wraps. I found the step of making the candied peanuts kind of a waste of time, since it really didn't add too much flavor so next time I'll just skip that step and toast them in the skillet a bit.
Great flavor combinations, loved the crunch of peanuts mixed with Tai Chilli ground turkey, sweet with spicy and fresh crisp lettuce wrap. Great meal
A little messy but delicious. A nice relatively light meal. Enjoy the sweet chili flavoring and the candied peanuts add a very nice crunch. Would've like a few more of those.
Would have preferred a lettuce wrap recipe that's more similar to what you get from Asian restaurants. Red peppers are a weird ingredient to put into lettuce wraps. Should have been things like water chestnuts for more crunch. There also weren't enough peanuts to provide crunch. And the portion size on this was way too small to provide two servings. I ate it all myself in one sitting and was still hungry.
I love the sweet chili turkey lettuce wraps! There were quite a few extra lettuce pieces left over and I would have made more lettuce wraps but the filling was super delicious so we didn't have any leftovers!
