🥬Ingredients for this Keto Lettuce Wraps recipe

Ingredients like lettuce leaves, mayonnaise, thinly sliced turkey breast, mint leaves, cheddar cheese, sliced pepper made on the table to prepare keto wrap.

Here is a simple ingredient list for these delicious lettuce wraps:

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 6 leaves of fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon dried cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 5 leaves lettuce
  • 5 leaves iceberg lettuce
  • 3 ounces smoked turkey breast, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced

Ingredient substitutions

  • Smoked turkey: If this isn't your thing, go for tender-cooked chicken breast or savory roast beef. You can also use ground meat for these wraps. For vegetarians, grilled tofu or tempeh will work.
  • Cheese: You can use mozzarella and creamy goat cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
  • Mint: Instead of fresh mint, you can use your favorite herb. But make sure to use fresh herbs! We suggest fresh basil, cilantro, or dill.
  • Mayonnaise: You can use Greek yogurt if you don't like mayonnaise.

Additional ingredients

  • Sliced avocado: Avocado brings a creamy and indulgent texture to your wrap, boosting the nutrition profile.
  • Crispy bacon: Bacon can be a superstar ingredient that brings a savory flavor and a satisfying crunch to your wrap.
  • Sauces: For extra flavor on mayonnaise, use your favorite taco sauce, avocado sauce, or a low-carb ranch dressing. Make sure that anything you decide to sprinkle on top doesn't have hidden carbs.

Chef's pro tip

It's crucial to layer the lettuce leaves neatly when making these wraps to create a sturdy foundation. It's best to start by placing the smoked turkey or cheese slices directly on the lettuce leaves before spreading the mayo to prevent any shifting or movement. As you roll the wrap, use parchment paper to secure it tightly, ensuring the fillings stay in place, and you avoid any mess.

  • Use organic and locally sourced ingredients.
  • Consider using homemade mayo as it helps you control the ingredients' quality and avoid unnecessary additives.

Time-saving tips

  • Buy pre-washed lettuce leaves and pre-cut bell pepper slices.

What can I prepare ahead of time?
