Plating:

For an elegant and eye-catchy presentation, divide the lettuce wraps evenly and line them around the edge of the plates. Fill each lettuce leaf with the turkey mixture, ensuring each leaf gets an ample amount. For color and added flavor, garnish the wraps with additional cilantro and mint leaves. Serve with a wedge of lime on the side for those who want an extra zesty kick. The end result should be a vibrant, cohesive, and appealing plate filled with bright greens, pops of color from the bell pepper and carrots, and the appealing, saucy turkey mixture.
