Ingredients

– 1 lb. ground turkey
– 1 ripe avocado
– 1 head of romaine or butter lettuce
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Turkey and Avocado Lettuce Wraps is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and diced onion; sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add the Turkey: Add ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Season: Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Prepare the Lettuce: While the turkey cooks, carefully separate lettuce leaves. Rinse and pat dry. Choose larger leaves for wrapping.
5. Make the Avocado Filling: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Mix in lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro if desired.
6. Assemble the Wraps: To assemble, spread a tablespoon of mashed avocado on the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with cooked turkey, diced bell pepper, and any additional toppings.
7. Enjoy: Carefully fold the lettuce leaf around the filling and take a bite. Feel free to squeeze extra lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor!

These steps make for an easy yet fulfilling meal that anyone can recreate in their own kitchen!
