Chop a whole yellow onion into a dice.

Peel the skin off the onion.

Make incisions sideways and then slits downwards to achieve a perfect dice.

Mince four garlic cloves until small.

In a medium to high heat pan, add olive oil and the diced onions, cooking for about ten minutes or until golden brown.

Add about a tablespoon of butter to the onions to help with the browning process.

Spread the onions to the side of the pan and add minced garlic to the middle, frying until fragrant for about thirty seconds before mixing it in.

Add ground turkey to the pan, breaking it up to avoid big lumps, and mix it with the onions.

Add a few tablespoons of coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement and some teriyaki sauce, about the same amount as the coconut aminos.

Season with fresh ground pepper and cayenne, avoiding salt as the sauces contain enough sodium.

Let the mixture simmer on medium heat for about ten minutes until it turns golden brown.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more pepper if needed.

Remove from heat and prepare a head of lettuce, trying to peel off perfect leaves.

Stuff the ground turkey mixture into the lettuce leaves.

Mix sriracha sauce and mayonnaise together to create a spicy mayo, which is added as a key ingredient.
