Turkey Taco Wraps

This recipe can be found all over Pinterest, blogs, and anywhere else you may see "healthy eating" recipes hiding on the Internet. As with all of my recipes that will be posted here, this is my version - a combination of all the ingredients I like from others' posts.



Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
3/4 cup onion (chopped)
1/4 cup celery (chopped)
4-5 small, sweet pepper (sliced)
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
Romaine lettuce leaves
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
  1. Saute onion, celery, and peppers in skillet with a small amount of olive oil.
  2. Add ground turkey and brown meat over medium-high heat while combining with onion, celery, pepper mixture.
  3. Combine seasonings in small bowl and mix before adding to ground turkey mixture. (If meat mixture is dry, add a little water until seasoning covers meat.)
  4. Wash and dry romaine lettuce leaves.
  5. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of mozzarella onto each lettuce leaf.
  6. Top mozzarella with warm turkey/veggie mixture (will melt the cheese).
  7. Enjoy by rolling sides of lettuce leaves around meat and veggies and eat like a taco!
Note: If you prefer more or less seasoning, you may adjust amounts. I recommend staying away from extra salt.
