Turkey & Greek Salad Lettuce Wraps
Overview
There’s just something so satisfying about a lettuce wrap: the crisp romaine crunch, the perfectly cradled filling, and that satisfied-but-not-stuffed feeling after dinner. This version features ground turkey seasoned with Turkish-inspired spices, garlic, and soy sauce, then topped with a fresh cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad, finished with feta and a sweet Greek vinaigrette. A refreshing, protein-packed meal you’ll want again and again.
This meal is inspired by HelloFresh, which we originally used to make this in the past.

💡 Notes
- For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the salad before serving.
- Swap turkey for chicken or beef if you prefer.
- Great for meal prep—store filling and salad separately, then assemble when ready to eat.
