Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 lb 95% lean ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Iceberg or Romain lettuce leaves, doubled up, for serving
  • Shredded Mexican cheese, diced Roma tomatoes, diced red onion, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, light sour cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Set a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and warm the olive oil. Stir in the onion and cook for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the turkey and garlic, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring and breaking up the turkey as it browns, until it is cooked through.
  3. Mix in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, tomato sauce and chicken broth. Lower the heat so the mixture gently simmers, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and cooked down.
  4. Spoon the turkey filling into lettuce leaves and add the toppings you like.
