Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the dressing: add all the dressing ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. It will be thick. For thinner dressing, add water or olive oil a little at a time until desired consistency. The dressing can be made several days in advance.
  2. For the lettuce wraps: in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey or chicken and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in the garlic, oregano, lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Remove from the heat.
  4. Serve the ground turkey in lettuce leaves/cups topped with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and a spoonful of dressing.
