Ingredients

2 lb 93% lean ground turkey
½ onion, finely diced
2 bell peppers, finely diced
1 cup crushed tomatoes
2 heads butter lettuce, leaves separated
⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 lime, zested and juiced
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese
½ cup chunky salsa
½ bunch cilantro, chopped

From your pantry: 1 tbsp oil, 2 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp oregano, salt.

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it into small crumbles, until no pink remains, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano and 1 tsp salt and toast for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes, then pour in the crushed tomatoes and ⅓ cup water. Simmer on low, stirring now and then, until thick and saucy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile stir the yogurt with the lime zest, half the lime juice and a pinch of salt to make the crema.
Spoon the turkey into lettuce leaves (double them up for sturdier cups) and top with cheese, salsa, a drizzle of crema, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Tip: For meal prep, pack the turkey, lettuce and toppings separately and warm only the meat; the lettuce stays crisp for 4 days that way.
