With my husband and I eating healthier and cleaner it has actually been a challenge to get creative with the few foods we choose to make meals with. We are not eating rices, pasta, breads or cheese. The only grain we allow ourselves is a slice of ezekiel bread in the morning or whole grain bars. This Best Healthy Ground Turkey Lettuce Wrap recipe is easy to make and very healthy.
The best part about this recipe is the flavor of the meat and the versatility of the recipe. You can easily substitute your own spices for mine. You can also choose your own toppings. In this recipe we top our wraps with diced tomatoes and raw almonds we crush. The crunch of the romaine and the almonds is fantastic.
