Once your turkey mixture is cooked to perfection, it's time to assemble the Turkey Ranch Lettuce Wraps. Start by laying out the lettuce leaves on a clean, flat surface. Choose the largest leaves from your romaine or butter lettuce, as they will serve as the perfect vessel for your turkey filling. Spoon a generous portion of the turkey mixture into the center of each leaf. Aim for a balance where the filling is hearty enough to be satisfying but not so much that it overflows and makes the wrap difficult to handle.

Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter lettuce (or romaine), leaves separated

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)

Optional: sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, pour the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped red onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant without burning.

    Brown the Meat: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Using a spatula, break up the meat as it cooks, ensuring even browning. Season the turkey with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes, or until the turkey is fully browned and no longer pink.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and diced cucumber. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the turkey and vegetables, mixing well to combine all flavors. Allow the mixture to cook together for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

        Assemble the Wraps: Take the cleaned lettuce leaves and lay them flat on a serving platter. Spoon generous portions of the turkey mixture into the center of each leaf, creating a hearty filling.

          Top and Serve: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the turkey filling in each wrap. Enhance your wraps with optional toppings such as sliced avocado or fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.

            Enjoy: Fold the lettuce leaves like a taco, inviting everyone to pick one up and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of your turkey ranch wraps!
