How To Make turkey lettuce boats

  • Step 1
    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Crush the garlic cloves, then add into the pan along with the turkey mince and cook over a medium-high heat until the mince has whitened, gently breaking it up as you cook. (Approximately 5 minutes).
  • Step 2
    Add in the mild chilli powder, cumin, paprika, chopped tomatoes and chicken broth then stir until well combined. Once boiling - reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and leave for 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile chop the avocado, tomato and spring onion into small chunks and peal the leaves from the lettuce. Once the mince is ready, add 1 tablespoon of mince to each lettuce leaf, then top with avocado, tomato, spring onion, Greek yoghurt and pumpkin seeds to serve.
