Healthy Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps

Alright, let's be honest here... this is basically a salad.
There are no crunchy taco shells or soft flour tortillas. Just a ton of spicy veggies, some perfectly-seasoned ground turkey, fresh avocado, parsley and cherry tomatoes and my favourite ever lime yogurt crema.
And yet, this recipe totally nails it all! Seriously... I don't even miss the taco shell!
Here's why:
It's filled with lots of protein.
It has more veggies than you'd ever eat in a taco or wrap.
It has bold flavours and spices that taste amazing.
It's light, so it doesn't weigh you down.
It's the perfect summertime meal.
It makes the BEST meal prep! (Which is why I've accounted for 5 servings here!)
It's also just super fun to eat. (I mean, who doesn't like eating a salad taco-style!?)
Truly, it's the best of both worlds. These Healthy Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps have been one of my go-to meals all summer, and I just can't wait to share it with you today!
