Instructions
0 Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until mostly browned. 1 Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped bell peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the peppers begin to soften. 2 Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, and chili crunch. 3 Simmer: Pour the sauce over the meat mixture (reserving a little for drizzling later if you want). Stir well and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. 4 Assemble: Spoon the orange chicken mixture into butter lettuce cups. Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and avocado. Drizzle with the reserved sauce. 5 Serve: Enjoy as-is or pair with a side of rice for extra carbs! 6 These store well in meal prep containers—just keep the lettuce separate until ready to eat!View original recipe
