NOTES:
- To keep the wraps' fat and calories lower, choose lean ground turkey. Look for 93% lean ground turkey on the label.
- Do not scrimp on the seasonings! Chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano combine to provide a fantastic taste profile for the turkey stuffing.
- Avoid overfilling the lettuce leaves with the turkey mixture, because this might make it difficult to wrap and eat.
- To prevent the turkey stuffing from tearing, choose sturdy lettuce leaves, such butter or romaine.
