These ground turkey lettuce wraps have loads of flavor and only 6 ingredients (5 if you don’t count salt). They are the perfect low carb, gluten-free meal that couldn’t be easier thanks to your slow cooker!
Slow Cooker Sesame Sriracha Turkey Lettuce Wraps--Gluten Free and Low Carb

I like throwing everything in a magic pot, turning it on and coming back to a cooked dinner.  That is the case with this ground turkey.
 Sure you could easily cook it on the stove-top but I chose to go the slow cooker route this time around because that’s how I roll.  Plus, I bet lots of you didn’t even know you could cook ground turkey in the slow cooker.  It’s easy and it tastes great!  Try it sometime when you’re making a large batch of tacos or if you want to cook a large amount of ground turkey and freeze it for future meals. It’s a nice hands-off way to cook!

I love the spicy flavor or sriracha sauce and the crunchy sesame seeds in this recipe. I rolled mine up in a large lettuce leaf but you could eat in plain or over rice if you’d like.

    I don’t understand — I’m making this recipe right now and the crockpot is full of liquid (grease?) I used lean ground turkey – what do I do? should I just stir it well before serving? But all that grease looks unhealthy!! Some other recipes call for cooking the meat separately but this one didn’t 🙁 HELP! I’ve company coming.

      If it was lean ground turkey it’s probably not grease. It’s just liquid that comes from the condensation dripping. I’d stir it up and it’ll be fine. you could also drain some of it.

        Thanks, Karen — Our turkey read LEAN, but the liquid was still more than I thought it should be. Since I needed an answer sooner than you could get to me, I made the decision to drain off all liquid after I judged it ready on HIGH at a little over 2 hrs. I then, added an adequate amount of hot water (to moisten) and some more ‘squirts’ of sriracha sauce and stirred it well, and set the crockpot on WARM until our guests arrived. All was well and dinner was a hit! .THANK YOU!
        P.S. The Bibb lettuce leaves were perfect, we added a generous amount of green onion to the meat mixture while cooking, instead of garnishing, plus we added a dollop of plain Greek yogurt on top of filling. We will do this again!

    I'm definitely on a sriracha "kick" at the moment, and these lettuce wraps look absolutely perfect. I love the short ingredient list, too! 🙂
