Preparing a healthy, flavorful, NON-BORING meal can absolutely be super simple and fairly inexpensive! Those are some of my favorite words when making a meal for the family or even for just myself…. and as a bonus, it is a healthy option!! That combination seriously makes my heart happy!!!!! Turkey can typically be very bland tasting, so be fairly liberal with your seasonings when cooking that part of it…but if you’re not sure how much, do a little at a time and once it has cooked thru, you can always taste and add more! Because it is a ground meat, make sure it is thoroughly cooked thru though!! So here’s what you will need:

1 lb. Ground Turkey (choose the lean version which is the breast meat)

1 small Sweet Yellow Onion, diced

1 small Red Bell Pepper, diced

2 Cloves Fresh Garlic, crushed & fine minced

Extra Light Olive Oil

Garlic Salt

Adobo (latin spice blend)

Cumin

Cajun Seasoning (I like Slap Ya Mama)

Lettuce (Either Iceberg or Bib Lettuce works well but iceberg is cheaper)

Baby Spinach

5 large Brussel Sprouts (yep I said brussel sprouts!) Chop into shreds

Cilantro

1 Roma Tomato, diced

Lime

Lite Sour Cream

Be sure to wash all your vegetables (we recommend a vinegar water bath) before prepping them! Chop up onion, red bell pepper, fine mince cloves of garlic…saute in skillet in a scant Tbsp of extra light olive oil, season with a little bit of garlic salt, adobo seasoning, cumin, till a lil charred. Remove from pan. Add another Tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and saute 1 lb ground turkey with same seasonings as you just did with the veggies. I actually added a little bit of cajun seasoning…depending on how spicy you want it. Add sauteed red bell pepper and onion back into skillet to incorporate flavors. Let them get happy together! 😉 Done! I then loaded my lettuce wraps with baby spinach, shredded raw brussel sprouts (cut off the hard stem then slice into shreds), cilantro, and then the meat and veggie mixture. You can top it off with a squeeze of lime, a tablespoon of sour cream and a little diced tomatoes. Deeeelish and very little guilt!
