Drizzle the dressing over the filling, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro on top for added flavor and freshness.
Carefully fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap. Secure the wraps with toothpicks if needed.

For extra protein, you can add cooked chicken or grilled tofu to the wraps.
If you prefer a spicier wrap, add some sliced jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
Make sure the turkey bacon is cooked until crispy for added texture and flavor.
The honey in the dressing is optional and can be omitted for a low-carb or keto-friendly version of the wraps.
You can serve these lettuce wraps with a side salad or some baked sweet potato fries for a complete and satisfying meal.
