| Leftovers tend to pile up at my house, but these Turkey Picadillo Lettuce Wraps were gone the next day! |
I'm a firm believer that you can never have too many recipes for lettuce wraps, and they're something I always enjoy when I'm doing Phase One. Through the years I've made so many lettuce wrap variations that I'd have a hard time choosing a favorite, but these Turkey Picadillo Lettuce Wraps were definitely amazing. Ground turkey is simmered with onion, green pepper, tomatoes, chicken stock, and spices, with some chopped green olives and a generous amount of Green Tabasco Sauce giving it just enough zip to make it interesting. The word Picadillo comes from a Spanish word that means "to mince" and many countries have their own version of this ground meat dish, but the use of olives makes this recipe lean towards Cuban Picadillo.
