Instructions
Cook the Onion
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and beginning to become translucent. Season lightly with sea salt to help the onion release its moisture and soften more quickly.
Brown the Turkey
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and break it apart into small crumbles using a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, continuing to break up any large pieces, until the turkey is fully cooked through with no pink remaining. Drain any excess liquid from the pan if necessary.
Add Seasoning and Tomatoes
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the cooked turkey and stir well to coat every piece. Add the drained diced tomatoes and stir to combine everything together. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and any remaining moisture to evaporate.
Assemble and Serve
Arrange the separated butter lettuce leaves on a large serving platter or individual plates, cup side up. Spoon a generous portion of the seasoned turkey filling into each lettuce cup. Serve immediately with Whole30 compliant toppings such as fresh pico de gallo, sliced avocado, or fresh lime juice.
