Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup salsa
1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 15-ounce can corn kernels, drained
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 head butter lettuce
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream, optional

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Stir in salsa, green chiles and taco seasoning until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in corn, beans and cilantro until well combined; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style, garnished with cheese and sour cream, if desired.
