It’s new recipe…Tuesday! Because you know, Taco Tuesday and all. But hey, these Southwest Turkey Lettuce Wraps sort of count, right? I know, I know. They don’t really count as tacos, but they’re still delicious and fun to eat with your hands 😉 I’ve been meal prepping some version of this recipe for years and I always do it buffet style so I can choose my toppings based on what I’m feeling like eating in the moment. You could really go crazy with the toppings here (hello, hot sauces!), but I like to keep it relatively simple so it’s quick to assemble. I usually serve them with a salsa of some sort and a Greek yogurt/sriracha mixture for a something creamy and spicy.

As for the lettuce leaves, I prefer butter lettuce for the flavor/texture, but it can be a little too floppy/tender for some people. If you think you’re one of those people, go for the iceberg lettuce. I won’t judge.

I used ground turkey here, but you can really use whatever meat you want. Ground beef? Perfect. Slow cooker chicken like I made for my favorite sheet pan nachos? Even better! And hey – if you want to really turn it into Taco Tuesday, throw in some real tortillas. It’s a choose your own adventure kind of situation, but one that can easily be meal prepped buffet style! Enjoy!
