Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground turkey (preferably lean, organic, or free-range)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 bell pepper, diced

  • 1 small carrot, shredded

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)

For the Wraps:

  • 1 head Romaine or Butter Lettuce, leaves separated and washed

  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup shredded carrots or chopped bell peppers

  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, or parsley) for garnish

Optional Sauces:

  • Greek yogurt–based tzatziki (cool and creamy)

  • Olive oil and lemon vinaigrette (light and tangy)

  • Harissa or chimichurri (spicy and aromatic)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Lettuce – Wash and dry lettuce leaves thoroughly. Pat dry or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. Keep chilled until serving.

  • Cook the Turkey – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and break it apart as it cooks. Stir frequently until evenly browned.

  • Add Vegetables – Mix in diced onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Cook for 3–5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

  • Season the Mixture – Add salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.

  • Assemble the Wraps – Place a spoonful of the turkey and veggie mixture in the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with cucumber slices, shredded carrots, or herbs.

  • Add Sauce (Optional) – Drizzle lightly with tzatziki, vinaigrette, or your preferred sauce.

  • Wrap and Serve – Fold the base of the lettuce over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Serve immediately for maximum crispness.

Notes

  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook the turkey filling up to 3 days in advance and store in the fridge. Reheat before serving.

  • Keep Lettuce Fresh: Wash and dry leaves ahead of time, store in an airtight container lined with paper towels.

  • Low-Calorie Sauce Ideas: Use Greek yogurt–based or vinegar-based sauces to add flavor without extra calories.

  • Dietary Variations: Substitute tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for a vegetarian or vegan version.

  • Serving Ideas: Pair with fresh fruit salad, roasted veggies, or quinoa salad for a complete meal.
