We’re always on the lookout for yummy ground turkey recipes, and this one is one of our faves. These lettuce wraps come together fast (just 20 minutes!), are super flavorful, and can be customized how you like it. Top them with your favorite taco toppings, really anything goes!
We like ground turkey for these because it’s low-carb, heart-healthy, and full of lean flavor, but by all means, if you’re a bigger fan of ground chicken or beef, both should work here too.
You can also get creative with your toppings—fresh avocado or guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and tomatoes all will help cut the heat, so mix and match your faves on these.
Ingredients
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 lb. ground turkey

1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tbsp. chili powder

2 heads romaine lettuce, outer leaves separated
For serving
Shredded Mexican cheese
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped red onion
Chopped avocado or guacamole
Freshly chopped cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook until just soft, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and season with salt. Cook, breaking up meat with the side of a spoon, until meat is cooked through, 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in tomato paste and chili powder and cook 1 minute. Add broth and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes more.
Step 3
Double up lettuce leaves. Divide meat mixture among leaves. Sprinkle with cheese, tomato, onion, avocado, and cilantro and serve.
