You can swap ground turkey with ground beef or ground chicken.
Make sure everything is diced into small pieces, so they all fit into your lettuce wrap.
You can also use butter lettuce if you prefer a less crunchy lettuce.
To store: It's best to enjoy these lettuce wraps immediately. If you have leftovers, you can store them separately, so the lettuce does not get soggy.
To reheat: Reheat the lettuce wraps filling in the microwave or stovetop.
To freeze: You can freeze the ground turkey filling in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
