Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 cup diced cucumber

1 avocado, diced

1 head of Romaine or Butter Lettuce (for wraps)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Optional: shredded cheese (like cheddar or pepper jack)

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

    Season the Meat: Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and allow to cook for another minute to let the spices meld.

      Prepare the Toppings: While the turkey is cooking, prepare the fresh veggies. In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, corn, diced cucumber, and avocado. Gently toss with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Assemble the Wraps: To serve, take a sturdy leaf of Romaine or Butter Lettuce and spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture into the center. Drizzle with ranch dressing, then top with the fresh veggie mix.

          Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle shredded cheese on top and garnish with fresh cilantro. Wrap the lettuce around the filling like a taco, and enjoy immediately for a fresh and healthy meal!
