Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Protein
- 1.25 pounds Ground Turkey
Seasonings
- 2 tsp Minced Onion
- 1 tsp Garlic Salt
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Oregano
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
- 0.5 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Chili Powder
- 0.5 tsp Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
Wraps
- 8 cups Lettuce Cups (Romaine or Iceberg)
Toppings
- Diced Tomato
- Grated Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Avocado
- Fresh Cilantro
- Sliced Olives
- Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the turkey is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
- Step 2: Once the turkey is browned, add the minced onion, garlic salt, paprika, oregano, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and granulated sugar to the skillet. Stir to coat the turkey evenly with the spices.
- Step 3: Pour in ½ cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Step 4: While the turkey is simmering, rinse the lettuce leaves gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel or let them air dry. Choose leaves that are large and sturdy enough to hold the turkey filling.
- Step 5: Spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture into each lettuce cup. Assemble your chosen toppings on top, making sure to personalize with your favorites.
- Step 6: Serve the taco lettuce wraps immediately, garnished with additional toppings like fresh cilantro or sliced olives. Enjoy them as a fun, hands-on meal perfect for any occasion!
