Ingredients

• 500 grams ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 2 medium, diced tomato
• 1 small, diced cucumber
• 50 grams, sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon, dried oregano
• 8 large lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Season the turkey with salt, black pepper, and oregano, stirring to combine well.

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper to the turkey mixture, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the pepper softens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomato, cucumber, black olives, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice, then toss to distribute the dressing evenly.

Step 8

Wash and pat dry the large lettuce leaves. These will serve as your wrap shells.

Step 9

To assemble, spoon the ground turkey mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with the fresh tomato and cucumber mixture.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf to enclose the filling and serve immediately.
