{Gluten-Free} Spicy Thai Turkey Wraps
This recipe is one of our favourites; it is adapted from the Cooking Light December 2012 issue. I prefer lettuce wraps, and my fiancé prefers corn tortillas. They taste great either way! When I went to the grocery store, they didn’t have serrano peppers, so I used about half a poblano pepper instead.

These taste so good! Made them for my husband the other night, using grass-fed ground beef instead of turkey. Turned out delicious and we still had room for coconut four pancakes for dessert! Ha! Thanks so much! xxx
