Ingredients

For the lettuce wraps

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons water

For the guacamole

  • 2 avocados, pitted
  • juice of half a lime
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Make the guacamole. Add avocados to a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the lime juice, garlic, red onion, cilantro, and salt and mash until desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with additional salt and lime if desired. Set aside.

  2. Heat a medium skillet to medium-high heat and add the ground turkey, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Once the turkey is almost cooked through, add the ketchup and water. Stir to combine. Once turkey is cooked, remove from the heat.
