Make These Easy P.F. Chang’s Copycat Lettuce Wraps… Keto Style!
Our delicious keto lettuce wraps with Hoisin sauce taste just like the ones from PF Chang’s… but low carb!
Love Asian-inspired lettuce wraps?
Lettuce wraps are my very favorite thing to order at PF Chang’s restaurant. Today I’m sharing a delicious keto-friendly version you can easily make at home that tastes super similar to the yummy, popular restaurant version – along with a keto hoisin sauce! I love these as an appetizer to share or as a light lunch idea.
Tips for making the best P.F. Chang’s Copycat keto lettuce wraps:
- Make your own Hoisin sauce! Hoisin sauce is commonly used in lettuce wraps, and it’s absolutely delicious but sadly it’s full of sugar and carbs. Luckily, we made a similar and very easy homemade version using keto-friendly ingredients featuring Swerve brown sugar sweetener instead of sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger paste, and natural almond butter.
- I love that this is essentially a one-skillet recipe! After the sauce is mixed up, brown the ground turkey and sauté the chopped mushrooms and green onion. I also added chopped crunchy jicama instead of water chestnuts to save on carbs. It added some great texture!
- You can, of course, use ground chicken or pork instead of turkey. It’s up to you, but we enjoyed the turkey – so yum!
- Butter lettuce is amazing for wraps! Feel free to use iceberg or another lettuce if preferred, but I really enjoyed using a clamshell of living butter lettuce because of the perfectly shaped cups. All you have to do is cut the stem at the base, and then carefully peel off the leaves to keep them intact.

I love the flavors of these keto lettuce wraps!
These are so satisfying and DELISH, you have to give ’em a try if you’re craving lettuce wraps! We really enjoyed the sweet and savory Asian-inspired flavors like ginger and sesame oil. Plus, I definitely feel like keto and non-keto eaters alike would enjoy these light and flavorful lettuce wraps.
Overall, this is a YUMMY idea, and such a great-tasting substitute for the high-carb restaurant-style lettuce wraps.
Here’s what my teammate Jenna had to say about these lettuce wraps:
“Wow! Now this is a meal I want again and again! I cannot say enough good things about this dish! It is so tasty and filling and was simple to throw together! Just a skillet for the meat mixture and a bowl for the sauce and you’re good to go!”
This easy cauliflower fried rice recipe is delicious!
I sent my mom this recipe and she just made them. Directly followed your instructions. It was a simple recipe and didn’t take long. They are crazy delicious!! This is a great addition to our home keto cookbook. Thanks! Will be hanging around your site finding more good stuff!
Oh I’m so glad penny! These are so good 😊 thanks for stopping by to let us know!
Love this. I also used the same recipe (sauce) for my stir fry I made tonight. Excellent.
Hooray that’s so awesome!
my understanding is that all soy sauce has wheat in it? I use liquid aminos instead. Is this incorrect?
Yes! Coconut aminos (a.k.a. gluten-free soy sauce) is a great source of sodium and electrolytes! It’s great for those with gluten allergies or anyone who wants to avoid (even fermented) soy.
You can purchase gluten free soy sauce. The La Choy brand says Gluten Free as always. But I used the coconut aminos and it was delicious!
There is GF soy sauce . . . and GF Tamari (same as soy sauce).
Easy, tasty and keto. Winner!
Yay! So glad you loved it, Neal S!
These were quite good. Thumbs up from the kids. This time I used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken because that’s all that was available. Will try next time with pork.
Nice! Thanks for sharing Cecile 🥰
Just made this and it is so good! I added sesame seeds and cilantro to finish it. That sauce is amazing; I’m already thinking of so many more ways to use it! I think it would be a delicious Asian salad dressing. Thank you for sharing!
Woohoo! You’re so very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks amazing
