One Pan Lettuce Cups

As you know, I'm a new Mom.  And what does a new Mom, or any mother for that matter, not have enough of?  This isn't trivia kids.  It's time.  The answer is time!  So if I can make a healthy dinner that is super easy, and requires only one pan, I am so SOLD.

Grab a pan with high edges.  Not sure if there is a special name for said pan, but you know what I'm getting at!

In your pan brown 1 lb ground turkey.  Once the turkey has browned, drain, rinse, give some to your baby, and place the rest back into the pan.  Add a can of rinsed black beans, taco seasoning (store bought or one you have created yourself), salsa, and corn.  I eyeball the seasoning and the salsa, and I used frozen corn and again eyeballed it.  You could also pre-cut peppers and onions and add them to this dish, but I didn't this particular time.  Let this cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes.

As it's heating through, grab your Boston lettuce otherwise known as Bibb lettuce, or if your store is out of this lettuce like mine was, Iceberg lettuce will do just fine.  Gently peel off the layers of the lettuce and make little cups out of them.  Of course this is after you have rinsed your lettuce.  Once your meat mixture is cooked, place 1-2 spoonfuls in each lettuce cup.

Add you toppings as you desire.  We used shredded cheese, salsa, and plain Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream).

This recipe is fast, easy, delicious, and keeps the pile of dishes down.
