Turkey Taco Lettuce Cups



Ingredients:  
  • 1.3 lbs. lean ground turkey (white meat) (I have also used ground chicken.)
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp. bell pepper, minced
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 4 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 8 large lettuce leaves from Iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • taco toppings (sour cream, avocado, salsa)

Directions: 


Brown turkey in a large skillet, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. When no longer pink, add dry seasoning and mix well. Add the onion, pepper, water, and tomato sauce and cover. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes.

Wash and dry the lettuce. Divide the meat equally between the 8 leaves and place in the center of each leaf.  Top with your favorite taco toppings (sour cream, cheese, avocado,  salsa...)
