I don’t know about you, but when I eat clean, low-carb or keto recipes like these lettuce wraps, I just have more energy! I feel better and I feel less bloated too. These lettuce wraps give me all the amazing flavors of a wrap – the meat, the spices, the chopped veggies – all without the carbs from bread.

What type of lettuce is best for wraps?

Honestly, you can use whichever large leaf lettuce you like the taste of most.

Iceberg lettuce peels off in really large leaves and can hold a lot of ingredients without falling apart.

Butter lettuce has a dark green color and a rich taste. It tastes better than iceberg lettuce (in my opinion) and has a much more beautiful appearance.

Which is better in a lettuce wrap – Turkey or Chicken?

Honestly, it tastes just as amazing either way. Turkey has a more distinct flavor than chicken. So if you like your meat to be more subtle, choose chicken. You can purchase either ground turkey or chicken.

When I make lettuce wraps with chicken, I like using pre-cooked and shredded chicken. I discovered that shredded chicken is easier for me to handle in lettuce wraps than ground chicken.
