Tender ground turkey is glazed in sweet-savory soy (with a kick of Sriracha heat!), then nestled in crisp lettuce cups.

Crunchy fried onions complete this Asian fusion masterpiece that’s healthy, handheld, and—best of all—ready in 30 minutes.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve radishes; thinly slice into half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop cabbage and carrot mix if necessary. Trim and discard root end from lettuce. Reserve 6 large leaves (12 leaves for 4 servings) for serving; thinly slice remaining lettuce. Gently crush crispy fried onions in their bag.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, 1 TBSP water, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (2 TBSP water, 2 tsp sugar, and a big pinch of salt for 4 servings). Stir in radishes; cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. TIP: No microwave? No problem! Heat vinegar mixture in a small pot until steaming, then pour over radishes.
Carefully remove and discard plastic wrap. Set radishes aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, turkey*, salt, and pepper; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Add cabbage and carrot mix, sweet soy glaze, garlic powder, half the Sriracha (add more if you like things spicy!), and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and everything is evenly coated, 2-3 minutes.
Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with shredded lettuce and turkey. Top with gochujang aioli, pickled radishes, crispy fried onions, and scallion greens. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Flavors were excellent and it was very satisfying. My only comment is that the lettuce leaves were very small, so eating them was quite difficult and messy.
I loved it! I thought the food would just fall off the lettuce at first, but it stayed on so well and it was so good!
Love the lettuce wrap. Instructions said save 6 leaves and chop rest. Next time would save more.
Chef's kiss! The sauce and crispness of the lettuce?! Highly recommend
Lettuce leaves could be larger to facilitate eating without a fork. Delicious recipe!
Liked cabbage and carrot combo and fresh lettuce that held up to filling.
I have had these many times and enjoyed them this time as well
My husband and I enjoyed this overall! The flavor was slightly sweet and the lettuce was nice and fresh.
The sauce is way too much sugar and salt. Feels like it's defeating the purpose of being healthy.
The lettuce did not have any leaves big enough to hold the turkey. Used tortillas from home instead
