Directions

Prep 15 minCook 20 min

1
In a food processor, blend the Greek yogurt, two-thirds of the minced garlic, the cilantro, lime juice, and one-fourth of the cumin until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate while you cook the turkey.
2
Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped red onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in the remaining garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
3
Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 7 to 10 minutes.
4
Stir in the remaining cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and ground cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes to bloom the spices.
5
Serve the spiced turkey in large butter lettuce leaves and top with avocado slices, chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of the cilantro-lime crema.
