Ingredients
1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat a large skillet and cook turkey over medium heat, breaking it into pieces until browned and fully cooked.
Add cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice; stir to coat.
Divide seasoned turkey into 4 lettuce cups.
Top each with diced avocado and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.
Notes
Meal prep tip: Store cooked turkey, sliced avocado, and lettuce in separate airtight containers.
Customize with tortilla strips, cucumber slices, or lemon instead of lime for a tangy twist.
Use olive oil if turkey is very lean.
