Turkey, Tomato Basil Lettuce Cups

This lovely turkey recipe is one we really enjoy. It is perfect for those hot days when you want something light, it can be served warm or cold.

INGREDIENTS

4 iceberg lettuce leaves

8 ounces lean ground turkey

1 tomato, diced

1 clove garlic, pressed

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon jarred GF pesto

1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

Salt to taste

Fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Drizzle the olive oil in a skillet and bring to medium high heat; add the turkey, tomato, garlic, basil, hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and stir in the pesto; let sit for a couple of minutes until the mixture stops steaming, taste and adjust seasoning.

Spoon the mixture into the center of the lettuce leaves, fold the sides over the meat and roll from the bottom up, like you would a cabbage roll.

Enjoy!
