Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ pounds 93% lean ground turkey
- 1 cup chopped fresh button mushrooms
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons Citrus Herb Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Ultimate Steak™ Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For Serving
- 18 bibb lettuce or butter lettuce leaves
- 1½ ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Instructions
- Cook Turkey Mixture: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, mushrooms, spinach, carrots, Citrus Herb Seasoning, and Ultimate Steak Seasoning. Cook, breaking up the turkey with a spatula, until the turkey is no longer pink and the vegetables have softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- Thicken Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture into the skillet with the turkey and vegetable mixture, tossing to coat everything evenly. Continue cooking briefly until the mixture thickens slightly, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Assemble Wraps: Spoon the turkey mixture evenly into the bibb or butter lettuce leaves. Top each wrap with diced avocado and tomato. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken or ground pork for the turkey if preferred.
- Adjust the Citrus Herb Seasoning and Ultimate Steak Seasoning to your taste or substitute with your favorite spice blends.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture.
- You can also add other fresh toppings like chopped green onions or fresh cilantro for added flavor.
- This recipe is great for meal prepping; keep the turkey mixture refrigerated and assemble wraps just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
