Turkey Lettuce Wraps

We just finished up this yummy family dinner! Instead of lettuce wraps for the kids I used whole grain taco shells, gave them low fat cheese and greek yogurt for on their tacos. I paired this meal with a side of green beans and black beans for a complete meal. 





Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lbs raw 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 tomato sauce, no sugar added 
  • 6 large lettuce leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add turkey; cook stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Add garlic powder, cumin, salt, chili powder, paprika, and oregano; mix well. 
  • Add onion and bell pepper, cook stirring frequently for 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.
  • Add water and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil Reduce heat to low; cook, covered for 10 to 12 minutes.  Top each lettuce leaf evenly with turkey mixture, tomato and cilantro.
