Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and mushrooms.
- Dice the zucchini.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Separate and clean the lettuce leaves, then pat them dry.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms and diced zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the skillet.
- Add the ground turkey to the empty side of the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Mix the ground turkey with the vegetables.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine.
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Place the clean, dry lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
- Spoon the turkey and veggie mixture into each lettuce leaf.
- Top each wrap with a dollop (about 1/2 tablespoon) of light sour cream.
- Serve immediately while the filling is warm and the lettuce is crisp.
Tips:
- Choose a crunchy variety of lettuce like butter lettuce or romaine to provide a sturdy base for the wraps.
- Make sure to finely chop the vegetables to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the ground turkey.
- Don't overcook the turkey; cook it just until fully browned to keep it juicy and tender.
- Customize the wraps with your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, or avocado slices.
