Happy Friday. As I mentioned before, my “fowl beast” was 21 pounds… for 4 people. I’ve eaten more turkey this past week than I have in the last few years combined. Now, I’m not complaining, that bird was delicious. We’ve had turkey sandwiches, turkey tikka masala, turkey jalfrezi, just to name a few. Yesterday, I needed something quick and healthy for lunch before heading off to the gym. I had my camera nearby so I documented this one. These are really easy, and taste amazing. Finish off the rest of that bird with a little Tex-Mex flair.
Turkey Tex-Mex Lettuce Wraps
1/2 Pound Leftover Turkey, shredded or diced
1 Medium Onion, sliced
6 Leaves Romain Lettuce
1 Tsp Mexican Chili Powder
1 Tsp Adobo Seasoning
Pinch of Cumin
Garnish
Shredded Cheese
1 Green Onion, diced
Heat 1 Tsp of vegetable oil in a medium skillet. Add onions, sautee for 5 minutes, add turkey and seasonings, cook for another 2-3 minutes. Clean the lettuce leaves, add the turkey/onion mixture, and garnish with cheese, salsa, and top with green onions.
If I had a bell pepper on hand I would have put half of it in with the onions. Oh well. Treat this like any other taco, do whatever makes you happy! Cheers.

Yummy!
Love the idea of using lettuce wraps instead of a tortilla!
I’m always looking for new twists on wraps. Thanks!
