These ground turkey lettuce wraps are the perfect weeknight meal!

Hey friends! I know it’s been a slow week over here. Adam was out of town on a business trip, so I’ve been all alone with our little Luna. I normally wouldn’t have been nervous about it – but she has major tummy issues on Sunday night, had to take her to the vet on Monday, and since then I’ve been trying to watch her like a hawk when she’s playing/wandering around. Why do puppies put EVERYTHING in their mouths?! 😂

Anyway, this is actually an old recipe that I’ve been wanting to update for a while. It’s one of my favorites because it’s easy, healthy, and fast – 3 of the BEST prerequisites for weeknight meals!
