Zero bread, maximum flavor. These wraps are lighter than a sandwich but more satisfying.
Ingredients
- 5 oz 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 head butter lettuce or large romaine leaves
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ½ cup salsa (fresh or jarred)
¼ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- Taco seasoning (or: cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika)
- Optional: jalapeño slices, fresh cilantro
Directions
- Season turkey with taco seasoning. Cook in a pan over medium heat, breaking apart, until browned (7–8 min).
Drain any excess fat.
- Lay lettuce leaves out on a plate — each large leaf is one wrap.
- Spoon turkey into each lettuce cup.
- Top with avocado, salsa, and cheese.
- Squeeze lime over everything.
- Fold and eat like tacos.
Notes
Use the largest outer leaves from butter lettuce — they are the strongest cups and don’t tear. If lettuce wraps feel too light, serve with a side of ½ cup black beans (+8g protein, +8g fiber).
