Prep 20 min · Cook 20 min · Total 40 min · Makes 8 collard wraps

Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced medium
- 10 large collard greens, divided
- 2 avocados, diced into chunks
- 2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 2-3 tsp. olive oil
- 1 can diced green Anaheim chiles with juice
- 1 T Kalyn's Taco Seasoning or your favorite brand
- 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- Additional cut limes to squeeze on at the table
Directions
- Cut the red bell pepper into roughly 1/4 inch dice.
- Warm 1-2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet set over medium heat, then cook the red pepper until it is tender but still has a little bite, about 4 minutes.
- As the pepper cooks, trim 8 large collard leaves, rinse them well, and dry them with paper towels.
- Take 2 additional collard leaves, remove any bulky stems, slice the leaves, and chop them roughly.
- Pit the avocado, cut it into dice, and gently coat it with the lime juice.
- Transfer the cooked red pepper out of the pan and reserve it. Add a bit more oil if the pan needs it, then cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat, using a metal turner to crumble it as it browns.
- Stir in the diced green chiles and their juice, Kalyn's Taco Seasoning, Spike Seasoning, and water. Mix gently, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer until nearly all the liquid has cooked off.
- Once the pan is almost dry, return the red pepper to the mixture and add the chopped collards. Cook for about 3 minutes longer, just until the greens soften and wilt slightly.
- For serving, spoon about one-eighth of the turkey filling into each collard leaf and add diced avocado on top.
- Bring cut limes to the table for squeezing over the wraps.
