1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Cilantro Lime Turkey Lettuce Wraps 

Directions :

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey breast
• 1 small or 1@ medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
• 1/2 cup your favorite green salsa
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
• 1-2 heads of iceberg lettuce (depending on size)
• diced avocado and tomatoes for garnish

Instructions :

1. In a food processor, add onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and green salsa. Pulse until a smooth salsa consistency is reached; set aside.
2. In a medium non-stick sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking up any large pieces, for 5 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt; stir. 
3. Add salsa to turkey and stir to combine and cook until turkey is cooked through about 5 minutes more. Add chicken stock, turn heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
4. Turn heat off and let turkey mixture sit while you prepare the lettuce cups. 
5. Tear off large pieces of lettuce that are big enough to hold about 1/3 cup of ground turkey. Top each lettuce cup with diced tomato, avocado and extra cilantro if desired. If you're like me, load it with hot sauce too!
