Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, diced (approx. 1 cup)
• 1 medium (196 grams) zucchini, diced
• 3 ounces (150 grams) mushrooms (about 8-10 medium), diced
• 6 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chili powder (or Tex-Mex spice mix)
• 24 leaves butter lettuce
• 8 tablespoons sour cream

Directions

Heat large sauté pan over medium heat. Add oil, onion, mushrooms and zucchini to pan and cook 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.

Add ground turkey and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until no longer pink, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.

Add tomato sauce, sugar, chili powder and salt to turkey, and stir to combine.

Remove from stove. To serve, spoon 1/4 cup turkey mixture onto one lettuce leaf. Top each wrap with 1 teaspoon of sour cream, and enjoy.
