Taco Turkey

This is one of my all time favorite quick and easy recipes that was inherited from my sister. My sister is the true chef in our family. I am just an amateur compare to her. She can whip up anything in no time. I love this twist on a traditional lettuce wrap.

Our Taco Turkey lettuce wraps!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 yellow or sweet onion
1/2 red bell pepper
2-3 garlic cloves
1-2 serrano pepper (or jalapeno pepper) (to taste)
1/4 cup of cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (also called jeeru)
1/2 teaspoon ajmo (also called ajwain or carmon seeds)
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1 tablespoon black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 iceberg lettuce

Directions:
Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add cumin seeds and ajmo seeds to oil.

Once seeds start to sizzle, add onion, garlic, Serrano pepper, and red bell pepper.

Once onion and peppers start to caramelize, then add ground turkey. Break ground turkey until meat has cooked thoroughly.
Note: At this point, I like to taste for some salt and pepper. You can squeeze some lemon juice it want some citrus.

Cut the lettuce head in half. Peal off the first soft lettuce leaves (Discard this leaf, it's usually really soft). I like to get a nice big lettuce leaf then start layering.
