Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps

We’re always on the lookout for yummy ground turkey recipes, and this one is one of our faves. These lettuce wraps come together fast (just 20 minutes!), are super flavorful, and can be customized how you like it. Top them with your favorite taco toppings, really anything goes!

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. You could also make this recipe using leftover Thanksgiving turkey. We don’t know about you, but after the carb-heavy main event, we’re all about lightening things up and giving them a little kick, and these lettuce wraps perfectly fit that bill.

Speaking of, we went with straight chili powder here, but if you don’t have it or are more averse to spice, try swapping in taco seasoning instead. You can also get creative with your toppings—fresh avocado or guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and tomatoes all will help cut the heat, so mix and match your faves on these.

We love these as lettuce wraps, but we’ve also been known to put this turkey mixture in between hard or soft tortillas or over rice, so you do you. 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.
