[FOODIE FRIDAY] Cinnamon Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Quick Apple Chutney

For some reason I am in the mood for turkey 🙂 Meals like this will help you quickly reach your fat loss goal. The shredded cauliflower, rice and onions in this recipe make an amazing substitution for grain-based pilaf. With the addition of lean, ground turkey and lettuce this comfort-food tasting meal is actually quite lean and green.

Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 large Romaine lettuce leaves

For the Cinnamon Ground Turkey Rice:

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 yellow onion, minced
  • dash of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 lb ground, organic turkey
  • 1 head cauliflower, shredded (To shred: cut into florets and run through a food processor with the grating attachment)
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • dash of freshly ground pepper
