# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine low sodium soy sauce, 60 ml water, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, and ground ginger in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until sugars are dissolved and the mixture is aromatic.

Mix cornstarch with 30 ml warm water in a separate bowl until completely smooth. Gradually whisk this slurry into the hot sauce and simmer until thickened to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat.
03 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent.
04 -
Add ground turkey and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, breaking apart the meat, until no longer pink. Midway through, mix in grated carrots and chopped broccoli. Continue cooking until turkey is fully cooked and vegetables are tender yet crisp.
05 -
Pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the turkey and vegetable mixture. Stir well and let simmer together for 5 minutes so flavors meld fully.

Arrange fresh lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon the hot turkey filling into each leaf. Fold and serve immediately for maximum freshness and crunch.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Choose very fresh, sturdy lettuce for structural integrity. Refrigerate prepared teriyaki sauce for up to three days to save time on future preparation.
