About the Recipe
Make your weeknight tacos healthy with these Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps! They’re a breeze to throw together and are full of delicious flavors from ground turkey, delicious spices and all your favorite Mexican toppings. We like ground turkey for these because it’s low-carb, heart-healthy, and full of lean flavor, but by all means, if you’re a bigger fan of ground chicken or beef, both should work here too. This recipe is also great for meal-prepping: Make a big batch of filling, then reach for it throughout the week whenever you need a quick low-carb lunch or snack. Free of dairy, gluten, nuts, eggs & keto.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
1 lb 95% lean ground turkey
2 cloves garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp chili powder (preferably 2 tsp regular chili powder and 1 tsp ancho chili powder)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Preparation
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and saute 2 minutes. Add turkey and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing and breaking up turkey occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, tomato sauce and chicken broth. Reduce to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes until sauce has reduced.
Serve mixture over lettuce leaves with desired toppings.
