Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Onion, small, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Bell pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges
• 4 Collard green leaves, large

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the collard green leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. Trim the thick stem at the base of each leaf to make them easier to roll later.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, around 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the diced bell pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavor.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato paste and water, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Lay a collard green leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the turkey mixture onto the leaf and top with a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the collard leaf inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

Step 9

Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining collard greens and turkey mixture.

Step 10

Serve the paleo savory turkey burritos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
