Turkey Taco Lettuce Cups

Seasoned ground turkey piled into crisp lettuce leaves: all the taco flavor, none of the heavy shell.

Ingredients

  • 1 ground turkey (1 lb)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 head of butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion 3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic and ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook 7-8 minutes until browned.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika and salt, and cook 1 minute more.
  4. Spoon the turkey into the lettuce leaves.
  5. Top with tomatoes, cheese and a dollop of sour cream, and finish with a squeeze of lime.
Serve with: salsa, lime wedges and a small bowl of black beans.

Double up the lettuce leaves for each cup if the filling is hot and juicy — two leaves hold up much better than one.
