Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

½ cup buffalo sauce (more or less to taste)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of butter lettuce (or iceberg lettuce), leaves separated

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup celery sticks, sliced into thin strips

½ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Ground Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

Season the Turkey: Once the turkey is fully cooked, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: While the turkey is cooking, rinse and dry the lettuce leaves carefully to keep them crisp. Make sure they are whole and sturdy enough to hold the filling.

Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the buffalo turkey mixture into the center. Top it with shredded carrots, celery sticks, and a sprinkle of blue cheese if desired.

Garnish and Serve: Add chopped green onions on top for an appealing finish. Serve the wraps immediately with extra buffalo sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.
