Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin, ground
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Braggs or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Romaine lettuce leaves
  • Tomato/Avocado Topping:
  • 1 cup tomatoes
  • 2 scallions, minced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 lime, juice only
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • Pinch of salt

Instruction

  • 1) For the avocado topping, dice the tomatoes, scallions, and avocado. Stir together with lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Set aside for later.
  • 2) If you’re using whole spices (cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes), toast them in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, a few minutes. Then grind.
  • 3) Mix ground spices with ground turkey, minced garlic, and the diced jalapeno. Stir in Braggs or soy sauce and cinnamon.
  • 4) Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey mixture until it’s well browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 5) Rinse and dry your romaine lettuce leaves. About 10-12 leaves should be enough for the pound of turkey mixture.
  • 6) When turkey is cooked, scoop some into each lettuce leaf. Don’t over-fill them. Then top with a spoonful of the tomato/avocado mixture. Serve immediately!
