Notes
For an even healthier option, make these burgers with ground turkey instead of ground beef.
If you can’t find Boston lettuce, use romaine or iceberg lettuce.
Serve your lettuce wraps with a side of sweet potato fries.
Store all the leftovers separately in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat the burgers in the microwave then assemble your lettuce wraps fresh.
Freeze the beef patties for up to 3 months then cook from frozen.
