Turkey Bacon Avocado Lettuce Wraps

Some nights you just don’t feel like cooking a gourmet dinner or even cooking in general.  Soup and sandwiches are a simple and delicious way to be “lazy” in the kitchen.  Lettuce wraps are a great substitute for bread and really showcase the flavors of meat and vegetables used.  Cut corners by spicing up a store bought organic gluten free soup. For easy and delicious entertaining, make a fun wrap station with different kinds of deli meats, sausages, veggie toppings and condiments so everyone can make their own custom sandwich.

Ingredients:
1 ½ pound fresh deli roasted turkey breast (nitrate free if you can find)
1 head iceberg lettuce
4-6 strips cooked nitrate free bacon
1-2 Roma tomatoes thin sliced
1 avocado (mashed with a splash of fresh lime juice and garlic powder

Method:
1.) Remove core from iceberg. Carefully peel outside lettuce leaves off, keeping rounded shape.
2.) Place avocado spread in lettuce leaf.  Add turkey, bacon, tomato, and any other veggies or all natural condiment you prefer (mustard is great).
3.) Start by folding up the thicker “core” end of the lettuce, following with the sides until you make a wrap.  Easy and delicious!

*Make it Primal with Grass Fed Sliced Cheese
 *Goes great with sweet potatoes in coconut oil and all natural gluten free soup.
Soup idea: Store bought Organic Winter Squash Soup with fresh garlic, sweet peppers, and green onions added in.  Season with cayenne pepper and basil.
