Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
1 avocado, halved and pitted
4 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prep ingredients and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add ground turkey, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Cook and stir until turkey is browned and fully cooked (6-8 minutes).
Stir in chopped onion and lime juice until softened (2-3 minutes).
Divide turkey mixture into 4 lettuce cups.
Top each with avocado, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.
Notes
Use a food processor for extra-smooth seasonings.
For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes.
Make ahead: Store turkey mixture in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Use sturdy lettuce like romaine or butter lettuce for cups.
Freeze uncooked turkey mixture for meal prep (defrost before sautéing).
