Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 250 g (½ lb) ground turkey
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for extra heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6–8 large lettuce leaves (Romaine or Butter lettuce work well)
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, lime wedges, salsa
Instructions
1. Cook the Turkey:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5–6 minutes.
2. Season:
- Stir in cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Cook another 1–2 minutes, allowing the spices to blend into the turkey.
3. Assemble the Wraps:
- Spoon seasoned turkey mixture into large lettuce leaves.
- Top with your favorite optional toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, or salsa.
4. Serve:
- Serve immediately as a light, low-carb meal.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wraps for extra zing.
Tips:
- Use iceberg or butter lettuce for sturdier wraps that hold the filling well.
- Make extra turkey filling and store in the fridge for quick lunches throughout the week.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped bell peppers or shredded carrots on top.
