Ingredients
1 lb Lean Ground Turkey (93% or 99% lean)
1/2 medium Yellow Onion (finely diced)
1 tablespoon Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cumi
1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Sea Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Bone Broth
8–10 Butter Lettuce Leaves or Corn Tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golde
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small crumbles. Cook the turkey until it is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes
- Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the meat. Stir well to ensure even coating
- Pour the chicken bone broth into the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes
- Wash your lettuce leaves or lightly toast your corn tortillas. Chop fresh cilantro, dice some tomatoes, and slice a ripe avocado
- Spoon a generous portion of the seasoned turkey into each lettuce leaf or tortilla. Top with vegetables and a squeeze of fresh lime juice
Notes
Avoid overcooking the turkey to prevent it from becoming dry. Use bone broth or water to keep the meat moist.
Double up on lettuce leaves for sturdier wraps to prevent tearing.
