What’s in Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps?
Made with ground turkey, these turkey lettuce wraps are low in fat and high in protein. Plus there are lots of great ingredients that make the tastiest and healthiest tacos. These are especially great if you’re looking for a keto-friendly recipe.
Ground Turkey: Ground turkey is healthy and delicious. You can swap in ground chicken or ground beef if you prefer. Butter Lettuce: Rinse it well and gently pat it dry to prepare it for the wraps. Onion: You can use either a white or yellow onion. Garlic: Freshly minced garlic will provide more flavor than pre-minced. Seasonings: You’ll need a medley of cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and kosher salt to give the ground turkey the best taco meat flavor. Black Beans: Make sure to rinse and drain the beans from the can. Sweet Corn: Keep things simple by using canned corn. Just be sure to drain it well. Diced Tomatoes: I use canned tomatoes to keep it easy on myself and I always have delicious results! However, you can use freshly diced tomatoes if preferred. Olive Oil: This can be swapped with avocado oil if preferred.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget the taco toppings! Some of my favorites include shredded colby jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and sour cream (or Plain Greek yogurt).
