Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix)

1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of romaine lettuce, leaves separated

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and tender. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, stirring often to prevent burning, until the garlic is fragrant.

    Add the Turkey: Raise the heat to medium-high and introduce the ground turkey to the skillet. Utilize a spatula to crumble the turkey into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Sauté until the turkey is thoroughly browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 5-7 minutes.

      Season the Mixture: Once the turkey is cooked, sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the meat. Stir well to ensure all the meat is coated. Add the diced tomatoes, rinsed black beans, and corn to the skillet. Mix all the ingredients together and allow the mixture to simmer for roughly 5 minutes so the flavors can meld. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

        Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the turkey mixture is simmering, rinse the romaine lettuce leaves under cold water and dry them thoroughly. Lay them out on a serving platter, arranging them to resemble taco shells.

          Assemble the Wraps: Using a spoon, fill each romaine leaf with a generous portion of the turkey mixture. Top each filled lettuce wrap with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a handful of chopped cilantro for added freshness.

            Serve: Present the lettuce wraps immediately, accompanied by lime wedges on the side for guests to squeeze over the top for a zesty finish. Enjoy these healthy and vibrant turkey taco lettuce wraps!
