Ingredients
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 lb ground turkey
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 C low-sodium chicken broth

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just soft, about 5 minutes. Add turkey to the skillet and season with salt. Cook, breaking up meat with the side of a spoon, until meat is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

3. Double up lettuce leaves and place on a serving platter. Divide meat mixture among leaves. Sprinkle with cheese, tomato, onion, avocado, and cilantro. Serve warm.
