Lettuce Cup Turkey Tacos

  • 1 lb. extra lean ground turkey (99% lean)
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 - 14.5 oz. can petite dried tomatoes
  • 1 - 4 oz. can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • Butter lettuce leaves

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic and salt and stir to combine, set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray.  Cook the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.  

Add in the spice mixture and stir to mix well.  Pour in the tomatoes, chiles, black beans and salsa.  Stir to combine.   Let simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.




Serve a scoop of the turkey mixture onto each butter lettuce leaf and top with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, shredded lettuce, chopped onions, sliced black olives, etc.
