Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps

I have to say this is one of my favorite recipes.  I saw this recipe on Skinnytaste.com and if you have never visited that site you must!  She has some amazing recipes on there and you will most likely see more of her recipes here.

Be prepared this was definitely messy dinner, but the mess is soooo worth it!  In the original recipe she says to use iceberg lettuce but I kind that the lettuce I keep choosing is not strong enough to support the turkey taco, that's why I changed it to show Romaine Lettuce Hearts.  You can choose any leafy green you wish.
