  • To lime juice, add carrots, half of mint, 1/4 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Stir; let stand.
  • In large bowl, with hands, combine turkey, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and remaining mint and garlic. Shape tablespoon of mixture into meatball. Repeat with remaining mixture. Arrange on skewers, 1/2 inch apart; flatten slightly.
  • Grill meatballs 4 to 5 minutes or until grill marks appear and meat loses its pink color, turning occasionally.
  • Divide meatballs and carrot mixture among lettuce leaves. Serve with lime wedges.
