Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Turkey
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion
  • 3 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Fish Sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp Swerve (or other keto sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup Toasted Sunflower Seeds
  • 1/4 cup Mint Leaves
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1 head Lettuce Leaves (butter or romaine)
  • 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C) and add the 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
  2. 2Add the 1 lb of ground turkey to the hot skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes, or until it is no longer pink and is browned. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  3. 3Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  4. 4Stir in the 1/2 medium red onion (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces), 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce (if using), 1 teaspoon of Swerve, and 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the onion begins to soften slightly.
  5. 5Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of toasted sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup of mint leaves (roughly chopped), and 1/4 cup of cilantro (roughly chopped).
  6. 6Arrange the 1 head of lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon the turkey mixture into the lettuce leaves to serve.
