These grilled turkey taco lettuce wraps are so fun because you can customize them to your own liking. My kids absolutely adore these. Basically anything “make yourself” and my kids are happy.

Grilled Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps - low carb turkey lettuce wraps that are not only healthy but super easy to make | littlebroken.com @littlebrokenFor these turkey lettuce wraps I’m using Shady Brook Farms turkey breast chops. I love using Shady Brook Farms because they offer variety of turkey products, such as ground turkey, turkey brats, turkey chops and never use growth-promoting steroids in their meat.

These turkey chops are perfect for the grill. They cook fairly quickly about 3-4 minutes per side (or 165F) but at the same time are juicy. For the marinade I went with a simple taco inspired spices. Chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, fresh garlic, and also plenty of fresh lime juice. You want to let the chops marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature before grilling.

Description

Delicious and light grilled turkey taco lettuce wraps. Customize with your favorite toppings for an easy, low-carb weeknight meal!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Turkey

  • 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 pounds turkey breast chops, rinsed and pat dry
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • zest and juice 1 lime
  • black pepper, to taste

To Serve

  • Cilantro Lime Crema
  • Iceberg lettuce leaves
  • Tomatoes, chopped
  • Avocado, chopped
  • Red onion, finely chopped
  • Cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Queso fresco cheese*, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil through black pepper into a small bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Place the turkey chops into a rimmed dish and pour the marinade over the chops, spreading to cover both sides. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F throughout each turkey chop. Do not overcook or they will be too dry.
  4. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Serve inside a lettuce with desired toppings.

Notes

*Queso fresco cheese can be found at the cheese counter in most grocery stores. It’s a soft, mild cheese….reminds of a lot of ricotta and feta but not as salty.
