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

  1. Season turkey with taco seasoning. Cook in a pan over medium heat, breaking apart, until browned (7–8 min).

Drain any excess fat.

  1. Lay lettuce leaves out on a plate — each large leaf is one wrap.
  2. Spoon turkey into each lettuce cup.
  3. Top with avocado, salsa, and cheese.
  4. Squeeze lime over everything.
  5. 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).
