Ground Turkey Lettuce Cups

January 20, 2023

Ground Turkey Lettuce Cups
A tasty way to enjoy lean protein with fresh crunchy vegetables. You can replace the ground turkey with tofu depending on your preferences. You can prepare the savory filling and save to enjoy later in the week too! Bonus tip: save the stem of the romaine lettuce bulb, place in a cup/jar with 3 inches of water, place in a brightly lit area, change the water every other day, and the root will begin to regrow after a few weeks so you can enjoy fresh romaine lettuce again!
