These low-carb, low-fat lettuce wraps are packed with protein, veggies, and the hot, spicy flavor of Franks Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce. This recipe is so easy to make, requires only a few ingredients, and is a great healthy alternative to buffalo wings. The problem with buffalo-flavored items served at restaurants is that the sauce is usually mixed with a lot of butter, and it's coating a food that is breaded and fried, which adds a ton of extra fat and calories to an otherwise healthy meal. Try these wraps- they're light, yet filling, and taste-wise they really hit the spot. Ingredients: 1 lb. lean ground turkey ¼ tsp. black pepper ¼ tsp. paprika 2/3 cup buffalo sauce (I used Franks Red Hot Wings Buffalo Sauce) ¼ cup water 2-3 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise and sliced thin 10 whole romaine lettuce leaves or romaine hearts Blue cheese or light ranch dressing for dipping Directions: 1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and brown the ground turkey over medium heat. Stir occasionally and break up the turkey until you’re left with crumbled, cooked meat; drain. 2. Add the black pepper, paprika, buffalo sauce, and water to the meat. Stir, and increase the heat to medium high. When the mixture starts to boil, decrease the heat to low, put a lid on the pan, and simmer for 5 minutes. 3. Spoon 1/10 of the meat mixture into each of the lettuce leaves, and top with some tomato slices. Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing, or light ranch dressing and enjoy!
Author’s Note: It can get a bit messy eating these lettuce wraps! But it’s worth it, they’re delicious. I recommend filling them just before you’re ready to serve, this way the lettuce stays crisp and there is less meat fall-out from the open ends.
