Collard Green Wraps

This is a family favorite and a healthier spin on a beloved Asian dish. Collard Green wraps are yummy, filling and can be topped with lots of delicious veggies! Typically lettuce wraps are served with butter or bibb lettuce. I prefer to substitute the wrap for something a little more dense to help increase the nutritional value while still providing a great, fresh taste.

• Ground Turkey Meat
• Chopped Garlic
• Chopped yellow onion
•  Julienne carrots
• Chopped cilantro
• Chopped radishes
• Collard Green
• Soy Sauce
• Ground Cumin
• Ground Paprika
• Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper

Add some olive oil into a pan on medium heat. Sautee up garlic and onions until the onions are soft and translucent. Add turkey meat and brown. Add salt and pepper, cumin and paprika and mix. Cook meat until finished.

Cut off the stem to the collard green leaf, but make sure not to remove the rib. Before meat is done boil some water and boil each leaf for about 30 seconds to soften and remove and dry off.

Add meat to the collard green leaf. Add desired toppings and add a dash of soy or tamari sauce to taste. Wrap up your leaf and you are good to go! These are very large and filling and extremely healthy. You can experiment with different types of meat including chicken, ground beef, bison or shrimp. You can also substitute the collard greens for chard as another healthy alternative.  The leaves are a lot more hearty than the more delicate lettuces which makes them less likely to fall apart while being packed with more nutrients.
