TURKEY TACO LETTUCE WRAPS
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup water
1 cup frozen corn
salt and pepper to taste
*optional toppings: radishes and avocado
DIRECTIONS:
Heat olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Add in onion and a pinch of salt. Once the onions are beginning to look translucent (it takes about 5 minutes) add in the belle peppers and garlic. Cook for a couple more minutes, or just until you take the raw edge off of the garlic.
Push all the veggies to one side of the pan and add in the ground turkey. As the turkey cooks, use your spatula to break the meat up into little crumbles.
Once the turkey is no longer pink and beginning to brown on the outside add the taco seasoning, salsa, water and corn to the pan and mix everything together so that the veggies and meat are lightly coated with the spices.
Once everything is heated through, shut off the heat and build your lettuce cups.
I like to scoop the mixture in romaine lettuce cups and top with some chopped radishes and avocado but feel free to use your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy.

BUFFALO CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
2 teaspoons olive oil

1 head of butter lettuce
*Optional toppings: blue cheese dressing + sliced scallions
DIRECTIONS:
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet and then add in onion along with a pinch of salt. Allow the onions to cook for about 5 minutes or until they are translucent.
Add in celery, onion, and garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.
Add shredded into the pan along with the onion powder, smoked paprika, and wing sauce. Gently toss everything together until all of the chicken and veggies are coated with the seasonings and sauce and heated through.
Shut off the heat and scoop filling into your lettuce cups. Top each one with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing and fresh chopped scallions. Enjoy!
