  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice Adjust to taste.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced About 2 tsp.
Spices
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Use for sautéing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Carefully separate the romaine leaves, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Set aside the larger, sturdy leaves for the wraps.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add ground turkey and break it up with a spatula. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is no longer pink and starts to brown in spots.
Sauce Preparation
  1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
  2. Add lime juice, a pinch of salt, and stir until creamy but still a bit chunky.
  3. Add a splash of water or more lime juice if a thinner consistency is desired.
Assembly
  1. Spoon the warm turkey mixture into the lettuce leaves.
  2. Drizzle generously with the avocado lime sauce.
  3. Optionally, add chopped tomatoes or thinly sliced radishes for extra crunch.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the garlic. Store turkey and sauce separately from lettuce wraps to keep them crisp. Enjoy leftovers within 2 days.
